If plans push through, Megastar Sharon Cuneta will be going to the United Kingdom next week to shoot her remaining scenes in her new movie “Caregiver.”

The movie, under ABS-CBN's Star Cinema, tells the story of a Filipina who moves heaven and earth just to give her family a decent living in the Philippines by doing caregiving jobs abroad.

According to director Chito Roño, this is the first time that he has directed Sharon in a film. “Pero sa TV, ang dami na naming nagawa. (But we have made so many shows on TV),” said Roño.

Roño said Sharon has to fulfill other commitments before going to London. “Ibang klaseng Sharon ang aarte. (It's a different Sharon who you will see acting.) This is her most challenging role so far, I believe,” Roño told abs-cbnNEWS.com.

"She's a fantastic actress," he added.

The multiawarded director said he is taking a short break while preparing for the rigorous shooting schedule in London. He said he is aspiring to make the best movie yet for the Megastar but stops short in saying that the film could reap awards.

“Hindi naman ako gumagawa ng pelikula para sa award. Basta maganda ang gusto kong pelikula at magugustuhan ng tao. (I don’t make movies to win awards. As long as I love the film and the people like it)," he said.

He said Makisig Morales, who played the lead role in ABS-CBN's “Super Inggo” series, plays a very important role in the movie.

“Hindi ko pa naididirek si Makisig. Sa UK pa kami makakapagtrabaho. (I haven’t directed Makisig yet. We will work together in the UK). I’m kinda excited about the boy,” Roño volunteered.

"Caregiver" also stars actor John Estrada.
