How long will Christian kiss Karylle?
Expect inhibitions to fly out the window when two actors used to working with each other reunite for a major theater project.
Karylle plays the title role and Christian Bautista is Prince Charming in Resorts World Manila’s production of the classic fairy tale “Cinderella,” which premieres in October.
"My kiss is gonna be longer and I put that in the contract," said Christian in jest, referring to previous intimate moments on stage moments opposite Karylle..
One-two punch
Karylle and Christian acted opposite each other in Ballet Philippines' Rama Hari last year. They also represented the Philippines in the TV musical drama series “The Kitchen Musical” in 2011.

Karylle, on the other hand, is ready to give Cinderella "a new flavor."
"This is one of the biggest things I'll do in a long time," she pointed out.
She agrees with Christian in saying that working together in previous projects is a big plus in getting the job done.
"Feeling mo kaya mong lumipad pag ang kasama mo kilala mo."
Karylle is excited to share the stage with Christian again.
"Can't wait to sing with Christian again. Been a while since I did a full-on musical," she said.
Plotting his moves
Christian already knows what to do for “Cinderella.”
“Maghahanap kami ng angles that have not been done before," he revealed.
