The statement comes after fans have taken to social media to express their frustration over the rumors that the movie received a new release date without reportedly informing the actors.

The rumor escalated after Avelino shared a cryptic post alluding to his “what if” of not finishing a particular film. The actor has also reportedly removed all the promotional materials related to the film from his Instagram page.
Avelino and Chiu have also reportedly unfollowed the Instagram account of Star Cinema following the rumors. But it is not clear whether they were following the company’s page in the first place.
“My Love Will Make You Disappear” is set to mark Chiu and Avelino’s first big-screen collaboration after headlining the Philippine adaptation of the K-drama series “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” and starring in the TV series “Linlang.”
