Kapuso actress Rochelle Pangilinan is set to star in a film with actor-comedian Vhong Navarro and Pinoy Big Brother alum JM Ibarra.
Rochelle, Vhong, and JM will be part of the movie Child No. 82, one of the 10 full-length finalists in the upcoming Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival 2025.
The movie tells the story of a young man who must prove that he is one of the children of a recently deceased action-fantasy movie star in order to get a portion of his inheritance.
JM plays Max who is rumored to be the 82nd child of Vhong's character Maximo "Boy Kana" Maniego Jr., while Rochelle plays Max's mother.
Kai Montinola, another PBB alum, is also part of the movie.
Rochelle posted a short video of herself in a script-reading session with co-star JM and directors Tim Rone Bagnas Villanueva and Carlo Catu.
Rochelle also expressed how thrilled she was to work with the team behind the movie.
"Sobrang grateful to work with an incredible team! 🙏 Mula sa seamless production, sa pag aalaga, kulitan sa set!
No dull moment talaga! Pinaka hinahangaan ko ay pagging professional ng bawat isa. Normal na may mga aberya sa isang produksyon, pero ang naririnig ko agad ay solusyon. Nakakatuwa din na karamihan sa prod staff ay younger generation! They gave new perspective and refreshing ideas! Maraming salamat Outplay Media Productions and Cinemalaya. 😍," she wrote on Instagram.
