Ekta Sinha
With LOVE from THAILAND

If there were any sceptics about how well-loved these two gentlemen were in India, they must have been stunned to see the long lines of admirers patiently waiting outside the Gateway of India to catch a glimpse of the duo. Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat and Mile Phakphum Romsaithong starred in 2022’s biggest Thai BL (Boy Love) show, KinnPorsche The Series. Apo plays the cheerful bartender and bodyguard ‘Porsche’, opposite Mile’s mafia clan character ‘Kinn’. This popular duo is all set to make its big screen debut with a Thai mythology-inspired BL movie, Man Suang, whose trailer made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Before Mile and Apo bask in the upcoming success of Man Suang, they shed some light on the film’s plot, characters, and love for India.

ELLE: Did you expect such long queues of fans awaiting you in India?

Mile & Apo (M & A): India was always on our bucket list to visit and explore, all thanks to its rich culture and diversity. And when it comes to the fans, we actually did have an idea of our Indian fanbase because our tags are always filled with their appreciative posts. But such a huge welcome was totally unexpected! The moment we saw fans waiting for us at the airport, we were ecstatic, to say the least.

ELLE: How did you embody your new characters in Man Suang?
