Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino have officially started filming their highly anticipated first movie project together, Star Cinema announced on Monday.

In an exciting announcement for Filipino movie fans, Star Cinema has officially revealed a new project, My Love Will Make You Disappear, through a photo of a movie clapperboard on their Instagram account. Directed by Chad Vidanes, the film promises to be a thrilling addition to the local film industry. This development comes just days after actress Kim Chiu shared photos on her social media of a script-reading session with her co-stars Paulo Avelino and director Chad Vidanes, signaling the beginning of the project’s production.

Joining the cast are veteran actress Wilma Doesnt, acclaimed actor Nicco Manalo, and rising star Karina Bautista, all of whom are expected to bring their unique talents to the film. The post quickly garnered excitement from fans, especially for the pairing of Chiu and Avelino, who are being dubbed as “KimPau.” This marks the first time the two will headline a full-length film together, adding to the growing buzz around the project.

Chiu and Avelino have already proven their onscreen chemistry in the hit series Linlang as well as in the local adaptation of the popular Korean drama What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?. Their past collaborations have been well-received by fans, making My Love Will Make You Disappear one of the most anticipated films of next year. The story, which remains largely under wraps, is expected to combine romance and drama, elements that the KimPau tandem has previously handled with great success.

The announcement has sparked excitement not just for fans of the lead stars but also for supporters of director Chad Vidanes, who has been making a name for himself with his fresh approach to storytelling. Vidanes is best known for his work on hit TV series and films that appeal to younger audiences, and his involvement in My Love Will Make You Disappear is raising expectations about the film’s direction and tone.

Meanwhile, Wilma Doesnt, Nicco Manalo, and Karina Bautista are also drawing attention to the film, with each of them bringing their own flair to the cast. Wilma’s versatility as a comedian and actress, Nicco’s range in indie and mainstream films, and Karina’s growing presence as a young actress ensure that the supporting cast will deliver performances that will elevate the overall narrative.

As fans eagerly await more details, the film is already shaping up to be one of Star Cinema’s biggest offerings in 2024. With a mix of seasoned actors, rising stars, and a promising director at the helm, My Love Will Make You Disappear has all the makings of a box-office hit.
