TODAY is the opening day for the latest made-in-Malaysia football movie, Anak Rimau. Datuk Kamil Othman and Manvir Victor speak to the producer, Fadzil Manap, and star, Idan, on their journey to the silver screen.

We discover the casting process and the discovery of this young actor and what took place behind the scenes with the funding of the movie.

As a bonus, there is an added incentive for local companies to take their staff or sponsor a theatre for school kids to watch this movie and get tax breaks.

This innovative thinking is exactly what the podcast has been promoting to get more people into cinema seats and nurture local films. 

Faizal shares the stresses of moviemaking and how they came up with ideas for promoting and marketing the movie during the pandemic.

We recommend that you watch the movie, laugh and enjoy the journey of these young footballers as they dream to represent Malaysia.
