Girlfriend For Hire

After their undeniable chemistry as a love team was discovered in the romantic comedy film “Diary Ng Panget”, many fans of the said film have already anticipated that Andre Paras and Yassi Pressman will soon going to take the lead in another romantic flick set to invade the big screen. Indeed, the said young stars are now starring the next movie adaptation of a Wattpad novel to watch out for, “Girlfriend For Hire”. However, the question is: will the movie version at least match the kilig factor the Wattpad readers loved in the book version?

The story of “Girlfriend For Hire” is mainly about Nami’s (played by Yassi Pressman) quest to keeping her scholarship, which led her to an unusual contract with Brylle (played by Andre Paras) who happens to be the grandson of the owner of the university that holds her scholarship. Nami and Brylle started a pretentious relationship for their respective interests, but eventually, it turned out they began developing a strong affection with each other. As their supposedly fake relationship blossoms, Brylle’s ex-girlfriend and first love suddenly reappears, bringing him into a deep confusion.

With this big break, the two young stars of Viva are expected much to show exceptional acting performances and not just to rely on the chemistry their love team has been known for. Avid Wattpad fans who have already read the story’s book version are also very excited to see whether or not Pressman and Paras would be able to give justice to the Nami-Brylle tandem that they would give life on the big screen.

Other stars joining the cast of this newest romantic comedy offering from Viva Films and SMDC include Shy Carlos, Donnalyn Bartolome, Katarina Rodriguez, Jasmine Hollingworth, and Clint Bondad. “Girlfriend For Hire” will be shown in cinemas nationwide starting September 23, 2015.
