Hunk actor Diether Ocampo and actress Maja Salvador will be playing lovers in the upcoming Star Magic movie in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Maja Salvador will play the secretary of Diether's character in the film.
Even with a wide age gap (Maja is 23 while Diether is 37), Maja Salvador was very thankful that she had the opportunity to be paired with Diet, being a relatively more experienced actor.
“Akala ko hindi ko na siya maaabutan, pero naabutan ko siya. Dati ‘diba, bagets-bagets pa talaga ako, nanonood ako nu'ng mga team-up niya with Kristine Hermosa, with Claudine Barretto, sina Judy Ann. Tapos ngayon, ang-swerte ko naman, magkasama naman kaming dalawa,” Maja told ABS-CBN news.
Meanwhile, Diether appreciated Maja's youthful energy on the set. Maja revealed that Diet somehow missed that kind of energy and occasionally amazed with Maja's funny antics.
Maja Salvador drpped a few hints on what the story will look like. Somehow, the film will be reminiscent of Manong Gilbert Perez' Jologs where the characters with their own stories to tell will meet in the end (a 'small world' conclusion) yet this one will show the farthest lengths one can go to for love.
“’Yung kwento nito – ano ba ang mga kabaliwan natin? Ano ba ang magagawa mong kabaliwan para sa pag-ibig? Lahat kami dito, may kanya-kanyang kwento. Magtutugma-tugma kaming lahat, magkikita-kita kami, at sa bawat isang character, mare-realize ng manonood na, ‘Ay, ginawa ko na ‘yan [para] sa pag-ibig.’”
Star Magic's 20th anniversary film offering will also feature Kapamilya stars John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca, Pokwang and Angelica Panganiban.
