‘Blood Brothers: Bara Naga' hits RM50m, guns for ‘Polis Evo 3' box office record (VIDEO)
This marks his third movie to gross above the RM50 million threshold, following Polis Evo 3 (RM50.1 million) and Sheriff: Narko Integriti (RM59 million).
Blood Brothers, co-directed with Abhilash Chandra, is also on track to overtake Polis Evo 3 in the list of top-grossing Malaysian films and has the potential to even surpass Sheriff, as it enters only its third week in cinemas.
According to Singaporean film distributor Golden Village Pictures, the film has also collected over S$800,000 (RM2.8 million) at the Singapore box office after two weeks of screening.
Produced by Skop Productions and distributed by Primeworks Studios, Blood Brothers also features talented actors such as Syafiq Kyle, Sharnaaz Ahmad, Shukri Yahaya, Syazwan Zulkifly, Zamarul Hisham, and Amelia Henderson.
The movie follows Ariff (Syafiq Kyle) — a fiercely loyal bodyguard who is framed for betraying his crime family. Forced to flee, he must prove his innocence with the help of his estranged brother, Jaki (Syazwan Zulkifli), while being viciously hunted by his former best friend Ghaz (Sharnaaz Ahmad), who now leads the elite team Ariff once called his Blood Brothers.
According to the New Straits Times, among the factors contributing to the film's success, aside from its thrilling action sequences, include its promotional tour across several states such as Penang, Kedah, and Melaka, which started in mid-April.
The tour, dubbed 'Jelajah Bara Naga', featured appearances by several stars including Syafiq Kyle and Sharnaaz Ahmad, drawing in thousands of fans who filled shopping malls and cinemas, applauding and cheering as the actors took centre stage.
Fans also had the chance to not just interact with their favourite stars but also to enjoy quizzes, games, stunt showcases, and photo opportunities with the stars.
Currently, the tour is scheduled to visit East Coast states, including Pahang and Terengganu, on May 1 and 2.
Separately, ahead of the next leg of the tour, both Primeworks Studios and Skop Productions via their Instagram accounts have hinted that there will be a Blood Brothers surprise event at Bukit Bintang at 9 pm today.
Blood Brothers: Bara Naga is still showing in cinemas nationwide.

A movie star's struggle with matters of the heart
Compiled by JUNAID IBRAHIM, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN MULTI-TALENTED Amelia Henderson's life may seem nearly perfect with her fame, looks and brains. Yet, when it comes to love, her path has been less than straightforward. The actress, model and host, known for her roles in productions like the action-packed Blood Brothers: Bara Naga, among others, experienced a failed marriage eight years ago. Since then, Amelia has chosen not to rush back into marriage, BH Ahad reported. 'I will never set aside my work just to focus on a relationship,' the 29-year-old said. Her approach is not about rejecting love but allowing it to unfold naturally. 'Meeting the right person is beyond my control. I leave it to fate. 'Currently, the energy is pulling me more towards work. I don't want to go against it.' Amelia also said that she was grateful that, in her nearly two-decade career, she has managed to steer clear of any scandals. > Noor Dyana Sudin, 23, has never viewed the large mole under her lip as a flaw, but rather as a unique feature that makes her who she is. Metro Ahad reported that the mother of one, from Pandan Indah, Selangor, said her family's support has helped her embrace the birthmark with confidence, despite being the only one among nine siblings born with such a mark. When her late mother once suggested removing the birthmark, Dyana chose not to, saying the birthmark was a special gift and a sign of God's greatness. 'My family is okay and always accepts me. 'Only my late mother once suggested I remove it, since nowadays there are treatments like lasers that can do that. 'But I chose not to remove it because I see the birthmark as a special gift, not everyone has one like mine, and it's proof of God's greatness. 'I go out as usual and never thought of covering up the birthmark, even when wearing makeup,' she said. She admitted to being ridiculed as a child, but said she now lives confidently, even when people stare or ask questions. Her husband, Mohammad Khairul Ai'imullah Mohamad Zamri, 27, has always accepted her appearance, never questioning her difference, and the couple is now happily married with a son.
