In an interview with 24 Oras, Sen. Revilla said that the role was "tailor-made" for Marian, that the Panday 2 will not be complete without her.

Meanwhile in another interview, Marian Rivera said she can't believe she's doing the role since she has a very hectic schedule:

"Hindi ko rin kasi akalaing magagawa ko ito dahil sa dami ng shedule ko. Na-touch lang ako kay Kuya Bong, kasi, nu’ng nagkita kami ni Ate Lani, nag-text pa siya na sinabi nga niyang huwag daw akong mag-alala dahil alagaan ako rito. Nakaka-touch naman dahil eto nga talagang alagang-alaga ako dito.”
