Xian earlier confirmed that he’s dating Iris, who also served as the actor-turned-filmmaker’s producer and co-writer for the film. The Viva Films and Studio Viva’s flick is now showing in cinemas nationwide.

“Kuman Thong” is Xian’s third directorial film following Cinemalaya Film Festival 2019 entry “Tabon” and the comedy film “Hello, Universe!”

Xian and Iris were joined by the movie’s cast members, Cindy Miranda, Althea Ruedas, Emman Esquivel, and Thai actor Max Nattapol Diloknawarit (“Manner of Death” and “Bangkok Love Stories: Innocence”) at the event.

Xian, Cindy and Max expressed their gratitude to the moviegoers for supporting their film and attending the special night.

“Thank you for being here. We’re so excited for you, guys, to watch ‘Kuman Thong.’ Also tell your friends and family about the movie after watching this tonight,” Cindy told the attendees.

On the other hand, Max greeted the eventgoers with, “Mabuhay!”

“Thanks for having me. I want to be here with you, guys, tonight,” he added.

At an earlier presscon, Cindy told The STAR that she accepted the project because she knew that she would be collaborating with Thai actors.
