Production

Actresses who were previously considered for the lead role in Sukdulan included Lorna Tolentino, Assunta de Rossi and Angelu de Leon.[2] Katya Santos, the fourth choice, had finished taking a break from show business to finish her college degree in Business Administration when she accepted the role.[2] Her decision to star in Sukdulan was to veer away from her "wholesome image" and become a more recognizable actress to audiences.[1] She had previously rejected offers from Viva Films to star in Scorpio Nights 2, Tatarin and Balahibong Pusa due to her being underage when the roles were offered.[1][2]

Santos and Raymond Bagatsing attended an acting workshop before starting production on the film.[3][2]

Release

Sukdulan was released in theaters on January 29, 2003.[4]

Home media

In 2021, the film was made available for streaming on Vivamax, where it reached the top ten chart for the most-viewed films on the site within a few months after the site was launched.[5]
