Nelissa Nizam denies being Ahmad Idham's favourite actress
The actress, who will be seen next in Idham's "Impak Maksima 2", stated that it would be wrong to call her the director's "golden child", but that there is nothing she can do if that's what people think.
"I have worked with other filmmakers too. But maybe it's because he is comfortable with me. We have known each other for quite a while, so maybe that's what made it easy for us to cooperate. I know how he works and he knows what I can give," she said.
Nelissa also hopes that their closeness would not be misinterpreted by the public.
"He treats all the actors the same. When he is comfortable with a particular actor, he would call them back," she added.
Aside from "Impak Maksima 2" which will be releasing on 17 July, Nelissa has also collaborated with Idham in "Saka Perawan", "Reza GTR" and also "Sahak Gangster".

Craig David returns to Malaysia this November, his only Asian stop of TS5 tour
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — UK R&B superstar Craig David will return to Malaysia this November for the first time in over a decade – and he's bringing his acclaimed TS5 live experience to Kuala Lumpur. The Craig David Presents TS5: Live in Kuala Lumpur show will take place on November 10 at Mega Star Arena, Sungei Wang Plaza. Organised by T-Rex Studio, it will be David's only Asian stop on his current world tour. His last performance in Malaysia was in 2014. View this post on Instagram A post shared by T-Rex Studio (@trexstudio_my) The TS5 concept began in 2012 when David hosted pre-party sessions at his Miami penthouse, Tower Suite 5. Blending UK garage classics, R&B, bashment, old-school anthems and contemporary house, the DJ–vocal hybrid set has since attracted a global following, with over 1.5 million listeners tuning in worldwide. David has taken the TS5 show to stages in London, Glastonbury, New York and Ibiza, performing as singer, MC and DJ – all at once. This year also marks a milestone for the 43-year-old star, who released his latest album Commitment on August 8, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of his debut Born to Do It – the record that spawned hits like 7 Days, Fill Me In and Walking Away.

From KL Premieres To Singapore Staycays: Ross Butler Is Taking Asia By Storm (Again!)
Ross Butler, the Singapore-born American actor, recently embarked on a whirlwind press tour across Asia for his new romantic comedy, Worth the Wait. The film, which features an ensemble cast of Asian-American actors, provided a special opportunity for Butler to connect with his heritage and experience a kind of homecoming. The tour included stops in Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, and his birthplace, Singapore, where he engaged in a mix of promotional activities and personal exploration. In Kuala Lumpur, the tour included a premiere for the film, giving Butler the chance to witness firsthand how audiences reacted to an all-Asian cast in a non-traditional "Asian story." He expressed his hope that such projects would encourage Hollywood to move beyond stereotypical portrayals and create more diverse content. Beyond his official duties, Butler took the time to explore the city's vibrant culture, with his activities often documented on social media. He visited famous landmarks such as Batu Caves and Dataran Merdeka, and even explored local markets like Petaling Street. During his stay, Butler revealed his deep affection for Malaysian food, particularly durian, which he confessed to being a "big durian guy" after trying it fresh for the first time. The actor also shared his love for curry laksa, proving he was fully embracing the local cuisine. The tour also brought Butler back to Singapore, a place he hadn't visited since 2008. The return was especially meaningful for the actor, who was born there. In an interview with Vogue Singapore, he spoke about the changes he had observed and what Asian representation means to him today. He emphasized the importance of telling stories where Asian characters are simply "normal people," not defined solely by their ethnicity. While in Singapore, Butler's activities focused on press engagements and interviews, allowing him to reflect on his career and the significance of his latest role. He also spent time reconnecting with the city, enjoying a "staycay" experience and appreciating the local atmosphere. The tour not only promoted the film but also served as a personal journey for Butler, allowing him to celebrate his heritage and inspire a new generation of Asian storytellers and actors. Come back soon again, Butler! Also in BuzzFeed: Also in BuzzFeed: Also in BuzzFeed:
