Roar in laughter with Z and Powkie in My Illegal Wife

SKYLIGHT Films brings together Zanjoe Marudo and Pokwang in My Illegal Wife – the most hilarious family comedy that will culminate the second quarter of 2014.

Zanjoe and Pokwang are considered as the king and queen of Skylight Films because of the success of their respective movies in 2013. Zanjoe starred in the Wenn V. Deramas comedy Bromance where he played dual roles of identical twins with two different genders.

Pokwang on the other hand made waves in her crazy role in Don Cuaresma’s Call Center Girl where she portrayed the role of Teresa – a mother who goes all-out to win back the affections of her estranged daughter.

Both Zanjoe and Pokwang earned the respect of their peers, the elusive nods of film critics, and the adoration of their loyal fans because of their brilliance as two of the industry’s most formidable comedians today.
