FAKE news ang lumabas na report na bubuhaying muli ni John Arcilla ang character niyang si Heneral Luna.
Ito’y matapos mapabalita na makakasama raw si John sa gagawing movie ni Sen. Manny Pacquiao, ang “General Malvar.”
Kuminang ang pangalan ni John nang bumida sa historical film na “Heneral Luna produced by TBA Studios. Through “word of mouth” publicity, naging blockbuster ang movie at umani pa ng mga awards.
Sa inilabas na official statement ng TBA Studios, pinabulaanan nila ang report na lalabas si John bilang Gen. Antonio Luna sa gagawing pelikula ni Pacquiao.
“John has never been approached to do this film. He has asked us ( at TBA Studios) for assistance regarding the matter.
“There are restrictions involved and we were surprised he was nme dropped in their press release without permission. It’s fake news.
“We hope media outlets would verify first before publishing any misleading material intended to promote a film project at the expense of others,” saad sa statement.
Wala pang sagot ang producers ng “Malvar” tungkol dito.
