Yap admitted it was also his first time kong to work with the veteran actresses. “Pinakita nilang wala ang seniority sa kanila,” he said. “Walang stress sa set. Nagsimula at natapos namin ang ‘Pornstar’ na masaya kami.”

There was a scene in the film where Raval cried. Yet, she was thankful for the guidance of her director, who simply told her, “Isipin mo na lang after this, magti-TikTok ka na,” Yap said.
