MANILA, Philippines -- A week before her movie "Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo" opens in theaters, actress Kim Chiu is already feeling nervous about her first big-screen project with actor Xian Lim.
"Excited at the same time sobra kaming kinakabahan kasi ito 'yung first team up namin sa big screen. Sana marami ang manood at marami kaming mapasaya," Chiu told reporters on Tuesday night during the Star Cinema movie's press conference.
In the movie, which is based from Ramon Bautista's book with the same title, Chiu plays Sandy, a woman who's ready to do everything for love.
"Si Sandy kasi, grabe siyang magmahal, sobra pa sa sarili niya. 'Yung parang hindi niya alam 'yung worth niya," Chiu said about her character.
"Nandoon din 'yung kung paano mag-move on. Nandoon din 'yung makakakilala ka ng newfound love," she added.
Asked if she can relate with her character, Chiu replied: "In a way, oo naman."
"I-base ba natin sa totoong buhay? Ako ba si Sandy? Alter-ego ko ba si Sandy? Pero nakakatuwa, ang sarap ng feeling na i-portray 'yon at mag-represent ka sa lahat ng babaeng seryosong nagmamahal," Chiu said.
"Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo" will opens in theaters nationwide on July 31.
