Anita Yuen stars in Chris Tong's movie

Malaysian actress Chris Tong is producing and acting in an upcoming Cantonese movie slated for Chinese New Year 2025, and the lensing ceremony for it took place yesterday (July 11).

Called Mom's Big News, the movie stars Hong Kong actress Anita Yuen as Rita, a 53-year-old woman who is planning for retirement with her husband (Malaysian radio DJ Chan Fong) when they find out that they're having a baby.

Fellow Hong Kong actress Michelle Yim also came to visit the set in a show of support.

"So happy and touched," former Mediacorp star Chris, 41, shared in an Instagram post. "We missed each other on (Astro drama) Great Resonance last time, but this time, Michelle Yim came to visit me and Anita despite being so busy."

"She also helped thread our sewing machine."

Chan Fong told Malaysian media that the story was inspired by a pregnancy scare his wife once had, when she stopped menstruating and made them worry that she would be having another child at nearly 50.

"I already have three children. If [we got pregnant with] a fourth one, it would disrupt our retirement plan," he said.
