Star Cinema recently announced that five of its biggest movies will be adapted in India.
In a statement released on 15 October, the company stated that ABS-CBN Film Productions is forging an agreement with Global One Studios of India to remake five of its films starring love team Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, popularly known as the tandem KathNiel. The real life couple has been together for a decade.
“This is a great opportunity for ABS-CBN Films to share our well-loved and heartfelt stories and become a source of inspiration for global audience,” said Managing Director Olivia Lamasan.
“The Philippines and India share many common values, among which is the strong love for family that resonates in our films and will soon be experienced by the people of India.”
Said Ramesh Krishnamoorthy, the President of Global One Studios, “We are happy to be associated with ABS-CBN Films to bring their well-crafted love stories to the people of India by adapting their heartrending films in Indian languages.”
The five films are “Barcelona: A Love Untold”, “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, “Crazy Beautiful You”, “She’s Dating the Gangster,” and the 2018’s “The Hows of Us” – the latter which became the top-grossing movie in the Philippines of that year.
