GMA-7 Cancels Dingdong Dantes-Kylie Padilla Project, ‘Haram’

Dingdong Dantes and Kylie Padilla are supposed to star in GMA-7's new teleserye "Haram," but because it tackles sensitive topics about the Muslim faith, it was shelved.

Here is the Kapuso Network’s statement on the cancellation of “Haram”:

HARAM is a story about the love of LUIS (Dingdong Dantes) a soldier who is of Christian faith for a Muslim girl, NADI (Kylie Padilla).

Eventually, the soldier will find out that this love is “haram” (forbidden); this is the reason why Nadi’s family is strictly against their friendship-much more their union.

But because Luis’s love is true, he wants to prove that he only has good intentions for Nadi. This pushes him to convert to Islam, so that his love for Nadi would no longer be forbidden.

This is the story of Haram.

A story, not just of a unique kind of love, but alsoabout a Muslim family (Nadi’s) and how they endeavor and strive to raise their children to be fitting and acceptable for Allah.

It is the show’s intention to make the viewers understand why a relationship between a Muslim girl and a man from outside Islam is forbidden, a doctrine which is also present in other religious beliefs.

At the same time, the show aims to present the beautiful side and the dynamics of the Muslim family life in our contemporary times, and
the dynamics of religious and cultural pluralism,with the desire to promote better understanding and mutual respect among people of various faith traditions.

But because of the current tense atmosphere all over the world and in solidarity and in respect to the entire Muslim Community, GMA 7 has decidedit is best to shelve Haram for now.

We hope for everyone’s understanding.

“Haram” is supposed to be a part of GMA-7’s 4th quarter lineup of new shows as shown on the plug below:
