Twenty years after their last film together, actor Aga Muhlach and singer-actress Lea Salonga will finally reunite on the silver screen.

According to Star Cinema managing director Malou Santos, as posted in the Star Cinema website, the reunion movie “will happen in 2016.”

Salonga, a columnist for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, said the announcement “took [her] by surprise.”

“We don’t have a script or have signed a contract. However, given how well-received the “Sana Maulit Muli” restored version is, the timing feels right for us to work together again. And soon,” she told Inquirer.

Muhlach and Salonga paired up in 1992 for “Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal?” and in 1995 for “Sana Maulit Muli.”

Just last month, ABS-CBN screened the digitally restored version of “Sana Maulit Muli.”

In a 2013 interview with Inquirer, Muhlach said he and Salonga were neighbors and would always talk about making their third film together.
