However, their contrasting personalities would hinder them from taking their friendship to the next level.Reunited after five years, AM and Harold spend fleeting hours together talking about their past and all the things that could have been.“The role is very unique. It’s my first time playing a guy who is hoping for love. What Harold went through is something very similar to something I experienced in the past,” said Avelino.“Aside from the movie being beautifully shot and lovingly written, it is very relatable. I’m sure everyone has a lot of ‘what ifs’ in their lives,” he added.Directed by Prime Cruz and written by Jen Chuaunsu, “Ngayon Kaya” also stars Alwyn Uytingco, John James Uy, Donna Cariaga, Shara Dizon and Rio Locsin.
