MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actor James Reid had said that he does not have an idea why on- and off-screen partner Nadine Lustre backed out from her Metro Manila Film Festival movie “Miracle in Cell No. 7” with Aga Muhlach. 

In an interview with the media during the launch of “Iwas BUWIS-it” book where he and Boy Abunda were the ambassadors, James said he was not sure about the reason behind Nadine’s decision.

“Actually, I have no idea. Sorry. I'm not sure what's the reason was,” James said.  

He also said that their upcoming movie together was “put on hold.” 

James also backed out from his role in the upcoming movie “Pedro Penduko.” 

“I had injury during the training,” James briefly said.  

Viva co-founder Vincent Del Rosario reportedly said that Nadine quit from the project because of medical concerns. 

“Miss Lustre has begged off the project due to medical concerns and her resulting inability to perform her duties as an actress during the shoot up to the promotion of the film,” the Viva executive said in a letter he wrote for the MMFF committee.

MMFF has reportedly approved Kapamilya actress Bela Padilla as replacement for Nadine.

“We believe that Bela Padilla is an excellent actress and a bankable star and she will significantly contribute to the film’s artistry and commercial success,” MMFF said in a statement.
