Comedy star Vice Ganda has started filming his upcoming movie And The Breadwinner Is.

Film outfit Star Cinema announced that production for the film commenced on Friday, June 28.

"DAY 1 HAS BEGUN 💖 Abangan ang pagbabalik ng Phenomenal Unkabogable Superstar sa big screens! #AndTheBreadWinnerIs starring Vice Ganda and directed by Jun Robles Lana, exclusively in cinemas this year!" Star Cinema posted.

Fans online were quick to express their excitement about the movie.

"Halaaaa start naaaa!! So excited to watch this!!! Manifesting a blockbuster movie again, as in wider, huge blockbuster," one fan commented.

It was in April when Vice announced that he would be working with director Jun for his comeback movie.

"First time naming magsasama and ang saya-saya ko talaga. Highlight ito ng career ko hindi lang this year, pero ng movie career ko. Isa ito sa pinakamalalaking highlights," Vice remarked at a media conference of the film back in April.

The It's Showtime host shared that with this movie, he wants to achieve something beyond box-office success.

"Nagkaroon na ako ng fair share sa box office kahit paano. Gusto ko magkaroon sa filmography ko 'yung inilaban sa international film festival. Dream ko ‘to. I have been praying for a movie na may internal value," she explained.

Vice went on: "Di ba meron din mga pelikula na hindi tumabo sa takilya pero has an internal value sa Philippine cinema at sa kamalayan ng mga taong nakapanood. Dumarating ang panahon na binabalikan siya dahil sa uri ng pelikula niya. I want to experience that now."
