Boonchu�s back with a rising star
Apinya Sakuljaroensuk (Saiparn) got her big break playing a
curly-haired cutie in the 2007 movie Ploy. Over the past year, the 18-year-old
actress has taken diverse
roles in the horror hit See Prang and the romantic film Friendship.
Saiparn plays Ning in the new comedy Boonchu I Love Sara Au
(Boonchu 9), the ninth episode in the blockbuster Boonchu series. Legendary director Bundit Rittakol has been making the Boonchu films since 1988.
Boonchu 9 is packed with talent, from veteran performers Noom Santisuk and Mam Jintara to young rising stars like Arty Thanachart and Saiparn.
In contrast to her sweet and delicate appearance, Saiparn was bold and straightforward when Student Weekly recently met up with her. She talked about her role in Boonchu 9 and her attitude toward life.
STUDENT
WEEKLY: How did you feel acting in a blockbuster movie like Boonchu?
Saiparn: I was thrilled to work with Bundit Rittakol. He�s an idol to many young directors. It was also a great opportunity to work with Noom Santisuk and Mam Jintara.
STUDENT WEEKLY: Had you seen the other Boonchu films before working on this one?
Saiparn: I watched them on TV after I got the part in Boonchu 9.
STUDENT WEEKLY: Do you believe that there really are naïve people like the Boonchoke character in the movie?
Saiparn: Not really. It�s rare to find honest and naïve people like that in our society. I�ve never met anybody like that..
STUDENT WEEKLY: Are you interested in politics, like Ning?
Saiparn: I
don�t care about politics. I find it boring. It�s just never-ending mayhem. The
people involved in politics can�t solve all the problems.
STUDENT WEEKLY: How about current issues like global warming?
Saiparn: I�m concerned about that. I�ve tried to cut down on using paper, and I save energy by turning off the TV and air conditioner. I also use public transport
and carpools.
STUDENT WEEKLY: You play the daughter of comedian Sumo Tui. What was he like?
Saiparn: He�s adorable, funny and very smart. He�s good at remembering long sections of dialogue. He also taught me how to deliver gags properly.
STUDENT WEEKLY: Lead actor Arty Thanachat said that he admires you. What do you think about him?
Saiparn: Arty is a fast learner. He listens to the director carefully and puts a lot of effort into his work.
STUDENT WEEKLY: What was the hardest part about working on Boonchu 9?
• Did you know • |
 Saiparn�s
favourite sweets are foythong and khanom morkaeng. |
Saiparn: I�d never worked on a comedy before. I was worried that jokes that were funny on the set might not work in the movie theatre.
STUDENT WEEKLY: What did you learn from making this movie?
Saiparn: I�ve improved a lot. I learned a lot about comedy and how to deliver
jokes. I always choose roles that are different from what I�ve done before.
STUDENT WEEKLY: How do you feel when people expect you to be a good example to teens?
Saiparn: I�m not trying to create any particular image. I want to be myself and for people to accept me as I am.
I
�m thrilled if somebody looks
up to me, but if I ever behave badly, don�t follow my example!
STUDENT WEEKLY: Do you still dream about becoming an
interior designer?
Saiparn: Yes, but it�s impossible at the moment. I don�t have time to study design or to improve my skills.
I love movies and acting, so I�ll probably study film instead.
STUDENT WEEKLY: Do you have a message for fans of the Boonchu films?
Saiparn: You�ll enjoy Boonchu 9. It�s a lovely film, and it�s hilarious too!
