KIM CHIU-PAULO AVELINO MOVIE: PLAYDATE ISSUE?
The statement was made after fans took to social media to voice their disappointment over rumors that the movie’s release date had been changed without reportedly informing the actors.
The speculation started when a photo from SM Cinemas circulated online, suggesting the film would now debut in April rather than the initially planned February 12. This news surprised fans, particularly those who had allegedly secured tickets for the original release date.
The rumors intensified when Paulo posted a cryptic message on social media, hinting at a scenario of not completing a film project.
The Kapamilya actor wrote, “Ma-experience nga na hindi tumapos ng pelikula.”
Moreover, both Paulo and Kim are said to have unfollowed Star Cinema’s Instagram account amid these circulating rumors. However, it remains uncertain if they were following the account initially.
