Sky and Nani Invite Fans to Watch Series 'WU' and Reveal Production Challenges

Stars Sky Wongsurawat and Nani Hiranyakrit unveiled their new series 'WU' at a premiere event on May 5 at CentralwOrld PULSE Hall, Level 7, alongside the full cast and director. Both actors revealed that filming the series was extremely challenging, with Sky acknowledging he faced challenges across all aspects of production, while Nani had to manage both intense action sequences and deep emotional performances that demanded significant physical effort.

Nani described the series as follows: 'It's a story about people who gain power from heaven and earth to subdue demons. When they encounter these evil forces, various missions unfold. Sky plays Wu, and I play a character named Pete. In the story, Pete is eternally tasked with subduing demons, and when he encounters Wu at a location with evil power, the two meet and face missions that could affect the world.'

Regarding character development, Nani noted that Pete is a young man with a complex backstory, while Sky explained that his character is 'Wu Out of the Cage'—not following the traditional way of Wu but instead defying the natural order. He works for money and accepts any job to subdue demons, whereas Pete is an athlete who has lost himself in vice.

On the production challenges, Sky detailed that being Wu involves performing long ritual incantations in Chinese language, incorporating Chinese cultural elements, and coordinating extensively with the CG team on visual effects. Nani discussed how Pete's hot-headed nature, combined with an internal power, required her to handle both physical action and emotional depth simultaneously, draining both body and spirit.

Both actors emphasized the importance of the supporting cast, noting that every guest star plays a crucial role in advancing the storyline and missions. Sky and Nani's characters, who didn't know each other initially, gradually develop into partners—with Pete as a possessed athlete and Wu as an unconventional demon subduer.
