Rising hot stars Harissa Adlynn and Daniel Fong lead the way for Astro's hotly anticipated new drama 'Kerana Seorang Lelaki'
Led by two young stars, Harissa Adlynn and Daniel Fong, the drama depicts the consequences when a husband's highly guarded secret is revealed, pitting two families with different cultures and opposing views against each other over wealth and financial issues.
For the record, the show will air from Monday to Friday and is expected to run for 40 episodes. Astro's top slot in the Prima channel has seen many top dramas being shown here and also scooping up top awards in the past.
The drama sees the reunion of the audience's favourite couple from "Beautiful Love Revenge", Harissa Adlynn and Daniel Fong, who are entangled in a forbidden love story this time.
They are ably supported by two influential female personas, veteran actress Marissa Yasmin and the elegant Soo Wincci, who play mothers from two different family backgrounds, but are bound by their love for the same man.
Helmed by renowned director Michael Ang and produced by Darkwave Pictures, this drama also sees the debut of So Wincci as the main antagonist in the Astro Prima channel.
The conflict begins with the sudden death of Richard Wong (played by Steve Yap), a corporate figure who apparently lives a secret life with two families who don't even know each other.
The existence of two wives and children from different marriages sparks a clash between Madame Clarissa (Dr Soo Wincci), a high-status and assertive woman, and Puan Linda (Marissa Yasmin), a caring mother from a humble life.
This clash of two worlds leads to a struggle for wealth, power, and affection, including a tragic love story between two children who actually share a blood relationship.
Also starring are Arena Wan, Kahoe, Aiman Ameer and Nabil Aqil, completing the line-up of new and experienced actors who will bring the conflict and deep emotions to life in this drama.
According to Norzeha Mohd Salleh, Head of Astro Malay Channels, ''Kerana Seorang Lelaki' takes viewers on a heart-wrenching story about a love gone wrong, a disputed inheritance, and two families at war over a man's secret past.
"In a world divided by rank and power, two women rise not just to defend their rights, but also the dignity and future of their children. This script challenges the question of who is worthy of love, inheritance, and trust, making it a drama that not only entertains but also invites the audience to get into the characters' roles.
"'Kerana Seorang Lelaki' is also not just a story of ordinary family conflict; it highlights real-life issues such as social gaps, religion, the importance of maintaining lineage, destructive greed, and the struggles of women in a world that often marginalises them. The female characters in this script are portrayed as brave, complex, manipulative, yet emotional, reflecting the real challenges that many women face today."
Amid this conflict between the two mothers, their children, Kasih and Daniel, who were once a couple, without knowing they were siblings, become victims of family intrigue. Tensions escalate when Richard's will sees his company's empire being handed to, Kaseh and Daniel, sparking an inheritance battle that ignites the hatred of two worlds.

Former TVB actress Ali Lee says she fell ill while filming local drama in Malaysia
Popular Hong Kong actress Ali Lee Kai-sum, who was in Malaysia filming the upcoming Astro drama The Exiled, revealed that she unexpectedly fell ill during the shoot. She stars opposite fellow Hong Kong actor Chris Lai Lok-yi in the series. According to an article by Sin Chew, Lee shared that she had to take 10 types of medication – including painkillers and sore throat remedies – while unwell. Fortunately, the medicine helped, and she made a significant recovery although she had a cough that didn't go away for awhile. In a behind-the-scenes video, the 42-year-old expressed gratitude to Lai who took care of her when she was ill. It was previously reported that Lee took the role in The Exiled partly because of her friendship with Lai. In the video, the duo spoke about their experience filming in Malaysia. Lee recalled how Lai encouraged her to get some sun and looked after her when she was feeling unwell. She humorously shared that at one point she knocked on Lai's hotel room door to ask for medicine, saying: 'His room became like a pharmacy. When I was coughing really badly, I went knocking and said, 'Excuse me doctor, I need medicine'.' Meanwhile, Lai added that many people were concerned about Lee's condition and would often call him to check if she was feeling better. Lee left TVB last year after 12 years with the company.

Senior citizens to shine in ‘Voice in the Shadows' Concert
Eliza (seated, centre) flanked by Irene (right) and Tan (left) with some of the competitors. KOTA KINABALU (Aug 3): A wave of nostalgia will sweep through Sabah as 70 senior citizens from across Malaysia take the stage for the Voice in the Shadows – Our Concert, a Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese singing competition celebrating veteran performers. The event will be held on August 17 at the Putera Ballroom in Bukit Padang, with a 4D stage setup to recreate a mini concert experience. A preliminary round will take place on August 16 to select the finalists. Organising chairperson Datuk Eliza Goh said during a press conference that participants hail from Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia. Adding star power to the event is veteran Malaysian songstress Irene Tan, a former Astro talent, who will be launching her fourth album titled One Seed. The album symbolises her effort to plant a seed for the competition to grow in Sabah. 'One of the goals is to promote tourism in Sabah, especially to senior citizens from Kuala Lumpur who have never been here,' said Eliza. 'We'll also be showcasing Sabah's beautiful tourist destinations to our guests.' The event also aims to foster closer interaction between participants from Sabah, West Malaysia and Sarawak. Notably, several businessmen — including a Musang King plantation owner — are expected to attend. Eliza shared that proceeds from the sale of 40 to 50 banquet tables will go toward helping Primary Six students who have excelled academically continue their education at private independent schools. 'All profits will support underprivileged pupils and will be managed by the Kian Kok Alumni Association,' she added. Also present at the press conference were co-organiser Dato' Tan Seng Huat and Irene Tan. The event is expected to be officiated by Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Christina Liew.
