DINDI GALLARDO is back in showbiz. She is playing the role of Imelda Marcos sa pelikulang Dahlin Nick na entry sa 2015 Cinema One Originals. Ayon kay Dindi, cameo role lang ang role niya, pero hindi raw siya nagdalawang-isip na gawin ito.
“No, not at all. Sabi ng kumontak sa akin, ‘I need you for a role and it’s Imelda Marcos.’ Sabi ko, ‘Naku, Imelda Marcos. Why me?’ And they just said because they need someone to play like someone who shows grace under fire. At meron daw akong ganu’ng aura. So, sabi ko, ‘Okey, let’s do it!’”
Gumawa rin daw siya ng sariling research sa buhay ni Imelda para ma-portray nang maayos ang character nito.
“I actually did some research kahit sandali lang ‘yung role. It’s very important kasi when you’re building someone’s aura. I did this whole Imelda research because I wanted to understand and build on that aura, ‘di ba? She has so much presence eh,” sabi pa niya.
Nung March pa bumalik ng Pilipinas si Dindi kaya 7 months na siya rito. Last month ay pumirma naman siya ng kontrata sa Viva. Si Dindi is a former Bb. Pilipinas Universe at dating leading lady ni Fernando Poe Jr. sa pelikulang Ang Probinsyano na may TV version na ngayon sa ABS-CBN.
