Maine Mendoza is willing to do a kissing scene with her new leading man Carlo Aquino for their upcoming movie.
The GMA-7 talent and Eat Bulaga host revealed this in an interview with ABS-CBN News after the story conference of their film held last June 27.
“Kung nasa script, kung nire-require ng story, why not? Okay lang naman,” said Maine about doing a kissing scene with the Kapamilya actor.
For his part, Carlo agreed by saying, “Oo naman."
Maine and Carlo are paired for the first time for the movie titled Isa Pa With Feelings. It will be directed by Prime Cruz (who helmed the 2016 movie Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23B) and it will be produced by the ABS-CBN Films subsidiary, Black Sheep.
According to Maine, she did not have any hesitations about accepting the offer to star in a movie with Carlo.
“Hindi na ako nag-isip. Go na. Super na-excite ako bigla. Doon sa story din kasi, very interesting,” said Maine.
The Kapuso talent admitted that she’s a huge fan of Carlo. This new tandem is now being referred to as CarDub.
“Nagulat ako pero in a good way naman. Happy kasi I really do want to work with him, lalo na nung napanood ko yung Meet Me in St. Gallen na nag-fan girl ako sa kanya,” she said. It will be recalled that Maine had a selfie with Carlo during the premiere night of the aforementioned 2018 movie.
Is Maine ready for comments from fans of AlDub, her love team with GMA-7 actor Alden Richards?
“Ready naman ako sa kung anong ire-react nila. I was born ready. Ang fresh ng team up. Abangan natin. Titignan ko sa Twitter kung anong response. Sana [positive], bago rin kasi and from two different networks nga,” answered the star also known as Yaya Dub.
Carlo then said about his movie with Maine, “Kakaiba siya. Something new. Yun lang ang masasabi namin ngayon. Nung pini-pitch sa akin ito, ‘Talaga, ganyan?’ Yun lang ang nasabi ko. Very unique.”
According to Direk Prime Cruz, Isa Pa With Feelings will be about two "broken people" who find each other.
