Screen and television star Ai Ai de las Alas has agreed to topbill a movie for Viva Films and she has brought along as co-stars her hot hitmaking charges, the Ex Battalion (Ex B). The film is set to start filming in July. It is written by Mel del Rosario and will be directed by Dado Lumibao. At the same time, the members of Ex B will be getting ready for their first major concert to be produced by Viva.
The movie marks the return of Ai Ai to Viva Films, where she made her early appearances as a young actress doing doing roles with short screen times. Eventually, she went on to become the country's leading comedienne on television and on the big screen with landmark box office hits like Ang Tanging Ina, Sisterakas, My Bebe Love, and others. She ventured into a new side of the entertainment business early this year when she became the manager of Ex Battalion.
The Ai Ai and Ex B film also marks the acting debuts of the members of this talented hiphop collective, which has introduced a new type of sound to the local rap scene. Being a collective means all the members are solo artists who can work either together or independently. It was formed by Bossx1ne six years ago and now includes the following rappers: Emcee Rhenn, King Badger, Skusta Clee, James Brando, and Flow G.
Ex B has their first break with Need You two years ago. This was followed by Tell Me, and then No Games which made the group part of the top ten of the Philippine hit charts. Late in 2017, Ex Battalion released what would become their biggest hit to date, Hayaan Mo Sila. The upbeat song which has dominated airplay, social media, streaming, and downloading sites these past months is a soft and engaging rumination on having a relationship while being surrounded by meddlers.
Watch out for this major motion picture event where Viva will bring together drama, comedy, and the latest in Pinoy music.
