During the story conference of ABS-CBN's highly-anticipated drama series “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw” last February 2 at the 9501 Restaurant in ABS-CBN, Kris Aquino revealed that Anne Curtis, her sister in the series, will play as a rebellious and free-spirited younger sister who will fall in-love with Robin Padilla and will cause a rift between them two.
“Anne and I will represent lahat ng emotions na nararamdaman ng kababaihan when it comes to being in love. Excited ako also kasi we get to see the dynamics kung anong relationship ng magkapatid. In every family, we all have different characters so makikita n’yo how two women will relate to each other. Yung isa responsible, de numero, yun yung character ko,” Kris told the press.
Aside from Kris, Anne and Robin, the series also stars Richard Yap.
Directed by Joyce Bernal, "Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw" is scheduled to premiere on second quarter of 2012.
