Barbie Imperial is set to star in a movie with her boyfriend, Diego Loyzaga, after getting replaced in the Pasabuy series.
On Sunday, August 22, the 23-year-old actress announced through her Instagram Stories that she would be portraying the role of Bianca in the movie Patungong Tayo.
The film, written and directed by Fifth Solomon, is Imperial’s first project together with Loyzaga.
“Can’t wait for this one. So exciting. The story and script 1000% also directed by @fifthsolomon pa. Iyakan naaaa,” Imperial wrote.
The Kapamilya actress was supposed to star in the 2021 romantic comedy series Pasabuy alongside Gino Roque. However, she was released from the show due to personal issues.
She was then replaced by Heaven Peralejo, a 21-year-old PBB alumna, in the series helmed by Xian Liam.
When the change was made, Imperial had already taken part in pre-production activities – including announcements on social media and the initial script-reading with Gino, Xian, and the rest of the cast.
