Most memorable moments on set
“We were simply allowed to have fun as a group of girlfriends,” Fulu told the above-mentioned publication, reflecting on a fun memory on set. She shared that the girls had an impromptu karaoke scene in the movie.
After production instructed them to memorise a song, the group were then asked to do a drunken karaoke scene. She remembers not having to worry about dialogue, wardrobe checks, and comedic timing.
“I am not the best at improvisation, but having the other women there and feeding off their energy made it easier,” she shared.
