MANILA - Megastar Sharon Cuneta finally gave her "yes" to do a film, "Mano Po 6: My Mother," for Lily Monteverde's Regal Films.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Monteverde said that it is a dream come true for her to have Cuneta in one of her films.

"Talagang 'yan ang dream ko na before I retire, I really want to get her. 'Yan ang talagang dream ko way back 25 years ago," the producer said.

Fondly called "Mother Lily," Monteverde also confirmed that multi-awarded director Joel Lamangan will direct the upcoming film that might be one of Regal's official entries to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

"Talagang I'm so happy na she said yes to me. I feel so excited that Megastar will work for Regal Films," the veteran film producer added.

According to Monteverde, the newest "Mano Po" will be a story of a mother who will do anything just to get back her daughter.

When asked who would be Cuneta's daughter in the upcoming "Mano Po" film, the producer carefully replied: "Sino ang anak? We have to see. Siguro, in two weeks, we will let you know."

This early, speculations are rife that one of the country's young stars like Kim Chiu, Marian Rivera, Carla Avellana and Angel Locsin might get the role of the Megastar's daughter in Mano Po 6.

Monteverde, who has produced four "Mano Po" films, said "Mano Po 6" with Cuneta will be shot in Thailand.

Cuneta will also have to study how to speak Chinese.

Cuneta, who was in United States for almost a month for her Megathirty Concert, last appeared in the Star Cinema comedy film, "Best Friends Forever" with Comedy Queen Ai Ai delas Alas.
