Video: The Making of 'Sisterakas'

From the makers of the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time, Star Cinema and Viva Films proudly present Sisterakas which brings together for the first time in the big screen three of the most controversial 'queens' of today–Kris Aquino, Ai Ai Delas Alas and Vice Ganda.

The power comedy helmed by box-office director Wenn V. Deramas is an official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. In Sisterakas, Vice Ganda portrays Bernice, described by scriptwriter Danno Kristoper Mariquit as a "rich gay man who is the lord of apparels."

Bernice unwittingly hires as his secretary his long-lost sister Detty (Ai Ai delas Alas), "isang butihing ina na gusto lang magtrabaho para sa kanyang mga anak." Kris Aquino, meanwhile, plays the "eccentric Lady Gaga of the fashion industry," whose company rivals that of Detty's.

Also starring Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla and Xyriel Manabat, Sisterakas premieres December 25. Watch "the making" of Sisterakas below. For the full trailer, click here.

Kris Aquino Backs Out of 'Sisteraka' (Filmfest Entry with Vice Ganda)

Queen of All Media Kris Aquino has backed out in doing the movie Sisteraka with Vice Ganda. The said movie is one of Star Cinema's official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. Sisteraka will also star two of the hottest teens today, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

This week, a rumor spread like wildfire saying that Kris Aquino will not be part of Sisteraka anymore and on September 23, Kris confirmed the rumors via Twitter. In a series of tweets, Kris cleared the reason why she's begging out of the movie.

Below is Kris Aquino's statement:

I didn't want to talk about work this weekend. But YES it's true I backed out of the MMFF movie w/ Vice Ganda. If u remember I lost my voice the other week & I realized I can't possibly work 7 days a wk & not have all my projects suffer. In the past my talk show was always the 1 that suffered because of my "acting" dreams. More than anything else, I am a talkshow host & I can't be effective w/ no voice. Our teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw has a story so close to my heart, about a family, about sisters, & what toll cancer takes not just for the victim but for all those she loves. I made difficult choices but I have peace in my heart. Growing up means accepting I'm not superwoman, and realizing just how blessed I am to have what's here & now.

According to reports, comedy queen Ai Ai Delas Alas will replace Kris in Sisteraka. It can be recalled that Ai Ai said earlier that she will not be joining this year's film fest out of respect for Bossing Vic whom she had worked with in the past MMFF top grosser Enteng Ng Ina Mo. However, things might be different now as she was offered to do the role and according to her 'masama raw tumanggi sa grasya.'

One good thing is that Ai Ai and co-star Vice Ganda (who reportedly had a rift in the past) had already patch things up so their working relationship in the movie will be smooth now.

Daniel Padilla Tries Action in Movie 'Kuratong Baleleng'

Daniel Padilla is set to appear in an action film with a working title Kuratong Baleleng together with his uncle Robin Padilla and father Rommel Padilla. 

In the said action film, Daniel will be playing the role of the young Ongkoy Parojinog, the character of his uncle Robin. Daniel, whose nuances are reminiscent of Binoe was perfect for the role.

This is not the first time that Daniel will be playing a young Robin Padilla. In the upcoming teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw which will star Robin, Kris Aquino and Anne Curtis, Daniel will also play the young version of his uncle.

Daniel was very happy to be part of Kuratong Baleleng not only because it was a fulfillment of his long dream of doing action films. He was also excited because he will be working together with his elder brothers in the movie.

"Ang dream ko talaga magkaroon kami ng movie na puro Padilla at ito natutupad na. Sobrang masaya kasi kasama ko ang mga kuya ko. Enjoy lang kami. Basta kami ginagawa lang namin 'yung trabaho namin at pamilya kami, kaya masaya," told Daniel to ABS-CBN News.

Aside from this action flick, Daniel will also star in MMFF entry Sisteraka with his Princess and I leading lady Kathryn Bernardo. The said movie will be topbilled by Kris Aquino and Vice Ganda.

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Join 'Sisteraka' Cast

Teen idols Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla (KathNiel) will be part of the upcoming Star Cinema and Viva Films 38th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2012) entry Sisteraka starring Kris Aquino and Vice Ganda.

The great news was confirmed by Sisteraka lead herself, Kris Aquino on her talk show Kris TV  Monday morning.

This MMFF 2012 entry will be the first time that Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla will be paired up for a movie project. KathNiel, as what their love team is called, had been successfully partnered in television shows such as the teen series Growing Up and the now hit Royal teleserye Princess and I.

Surely, KathNiel fans will be delighted with this news, saving all their money just to buy a ticket for Christmas Day's showing of Sisteraka. 

Sisteraka (although the title is subject to change) will mark Daniel Padilla's first big screen project while this will be Kathryn's 2nd consecutive time to star in an MMFF entry. She was part of Shake Rattle and Roll 13 last year.

It seems like Kris is fond of the KathNiel love team. In Kris' teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw, Daniel Padilla was made to play the young Robin Padilla while Kathryn was also requested to play Kris' younger version but the role was rumored to be played by another teen actress.
