MANILA – It seems that the fans of Lea Salonga and Aga Muhlach would have to wait a few more months before they could finally see the two together again on the big screen.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Tuesday, Salonga said she is just waiting for Muhlach to lose some more weight before they start working on their reunion project.
“He needs to lose 20 more pounds. I’m looking good in skinny jeans now. I’m doing my share and my trainer is really motivated. He’s like, ‘Go sige pa. We have a project to make you look amazing by the summer.’ We’ll see. [Si Aga] na lang,” she said.
Back in July, Salonga revealed that there have been talks about a possible reunion movie for the two of them.
She, however, said both of them have decided to look “physically ready” first before jumping into the project.
“The ball is in his court, it is always in his court. Let’s see how much more he can go. Napapansin na parang medyo he’s losing weight na so let’s hope for some more,” Salonga said.
Reiterating that Muhlach is her favorite leading man, the acclaimed singer said: “Not Piolo, not Sam, not John Lloyd, not anybody. Sorry, it’s really him. When he looks his best, he’s untouchable.”
Muhlach and Salonga starred in two movies in the 1990s -- "Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal" and "Sana Maulit Muli."
In a previous interview, Salonga said she only wants to be paired with Muhlach because she is already comfortable working with the actor.
“Minsan lang kasi ako gumawa ng pelikula. As in once every 17 years. I don’t do movies very often so I want to be with people that I’m already comfortable with. There are certain risks that I’d like take when I perform live. But when I do a film, I’d like to stay with a team na nakasanayan ko na,” she said.
The Tony Award-winner also noted that she and Muhlach have a certain chemistry, which makes their working environment light.
