Toni Gonzaga revealed that the concept for her movie You’re My Boss came to life when she was talking to her sister Alex Gonzaga about Coco Martin. “It’s a concept na naisip namin kasi nasa bahay kami, nag-usap kami ni Alex for the reason na napag-usapan namin si Coco at sabi ni Alex ‘Never mo siguro makakatrabaho ‘yun si Coco kasi drama, primetime, teleserye.’ Tapos sabi ko parang naisipan ko siya ng magandang istorya na swak na parang magme-meet ‘yung character ko at character niya.”

After she thought of the concept, she pitched it to the management of Star Cinema. “And then after we came up at ‘yung konsepto nabuo and at that time meron kaming meeting sa Star Cinema for a movie. Nandon si Inang (director Olivia Lamasan) tapos sabi ko ‘Inang pwede ako mag-pitch ng concept? May naisip po ako. May actor na po akong naiisip si Coco Martin.’ Tapos kinwento ko ‘yung story tapos nagusutuhan nila tapos sabi nila ‘Alam mo tamang-tama may meeting si Coco sa Friday sa Star Cinema, ipi-pitch namin ‘yan, pag nagustuhan niya, igo-go namin yan tapos nagustuhan niya. Next thing nag-start na kami sa pelikula.”

With numerous successful movies before, is Toni expecting that this film would be a hit in the box office as well? “Tinataasan ko na [ang expectation ko]. Pag nage-expect ka pa lang good things na ang dapat na-invibe mo. Actually ever since na nag-story conference kami, noong first day shooting namin, ‘yung expectations ko hindi na bumaba. Di ba lagi nilang sinasabi expect the worst and hope for the best. Ang sa akin expect the best and hope for the best.”

Toni remarked that a lot of people would have some realizations after watching the movie. “’Yung values na mai-impart namin sa movie at ‘yung matututunan nila marami and we really guarantee na lahat ng viewers na lalabas kayo ng sinehan na puno ng ngiti.”

The Multimedia Star also reacted to some comments that she has no chemistry with Coco. Toni defended her decision to team up with the actor. “A lot of people really questioned nong sinasabi kong magkakatrabaho kami ni Coco parang ‘Ha saan galing ‘yun? Na parang wala naman silang chemistry at hindi naman sila bagay?’ Pero naniniwala kasi ako na may mga taong akala natin hindi bagay sa atin eh ‘yun pala ang meant para sa atin kahit in real life sa mga love stories maraming hindi bagay sa isa’t isa pero sila pala ang meant sa isa’t isa,” she said.
