Ziam movie release: Where to watch Thai zombie horror-action film on OTT and everything you need to know
What happens when a Muay Thai fighter takes on a horde of flesh-hungry zombies with nothing but his bare hands? That's the high-octane premise of Ziam - a bold, genre-bending Thai action-horror film that fuses brutal martial arts with relentless undead chaos. With tight corridors, emotional stakes, and raw fight choreography, it offers a fresh and gritty take on the zombie survival story. What is Ziam about and the cast In Ziam, Mark-Prin Suparat takes on the role of Singh, a former professional Muay Thai fighter ready to leave his fighting days behind. He dreams of a peaceful life with his girlfriend Rin - a compassionate doctor played by Nychaa-Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich. But their plans are shattered when a sudden zombie outbreak overtakes the hospital where Rin works. Forced back into combat, Singh must rely on his deadly Muay Thai skills to navigate the chaos and rescue Rin, along with a young boy named Buddy (Vayla-Wanvayla Boonnithipaisit). With bare hands against the undead, Singh's journey becomes a brutal, high-stakes battle for love and survival. From the creative team behind Master of the House - which soared to No. 1 on Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English Shows list - Ziam, in collaboration with Kantana Motion Pictures, promises a gripping, edge-of-your-seat experience tailor-made for fans of action and horror. Where to watch Ziam will be available for worldwide streaming on Netflix on July 9, 2025. With no theatrical distribution planned, it is part of Netflix's larger effort to spotlight Southeast Asian genre films and bring localized tales to worldwide audiences. More about Ziam The title Ziam is a clever twist on Thailand's former name, "Siam," with a "Z" to signal its zombie-fueled chaos. Blending blood-soaked corridors, intense close-quarters combat, and high-impact Muay Thai action, the film aims to leave a bold mark on the zombie genre. To enhance its gritty realism, Ziam avoids CGI in favour of practical effects. Each zombie is brought to life with detailed special makeup, giving them a raw, visceral presence that pulls viewers straight into the heart of the outbreak.

Amitabh Bachchan shares note as Kaun Banega Crorepati turns 25: ‘I am told by the KBC team…'
Amitabh Bachchan is as well known for his iconic film roles as he is for his long-standing association with the reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). Today, the veteran actor took a moment to reflect on a milestone moment in his television journey. Taking to Instagram, Amitabh shared a nostalgic post as he gears up for the latest season of KBC. He recalled that it was on this very day, 3rd July, back in 2000, that the first episode of the show was aired. Marking the occasion, he wrote: 'Today 3rd July, 2025, as I work on this year's season KBC prep, I am told by the KBC team, 3rd July 2000, the first broadcast of KBC happened… 25 years, the life of KBC!' T 5430 – Today 3rd July , 2025 , as I work on this years season KBC prep, I am told by the KBC team – 3rd July 2000, the first broadcast of KBC happened .. 25 years , the life of KBC ! 🙏 — Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) July 3, 2025 For those unaware, Kaun Banega Crorepati is the Hindi adaptation of the global hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The show debuted on Star Plus in 2000 and was originally commissioned by the programming team led by Sameer Nair. Amitabh has hosted the show for nearly its entire run, except for the third season, which featured Shah Rukh Khan as the host. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Sameer Nair recalled how difficult it was to get Amitabh Bachchan on board initially. He shared that many people around the actor, including his wife Jaya Bachchan, advised against it. 'When we first went to him, it was complicated because it was TV and he was a film star,' said Nair. The naysayers included Amitabh's wife and veteran actor Jaya Bachchan herself, who felt that 'it was somewhere not correct to shrink him to the small screen.' Nair also revealed that Amitabh declined to host the third season, which is when Shah Rukh Khan stepped in. However, that season didn't perform as well. Reflecting on the transition and the show's revival, he said: 'The credit also goes to Sony for reviving it. We did two seasons with Mr. Bachchan and one with Shah Rukh, and then we let go. They took it forward and really built it in the last 10 years so that we could get to the 25th anniversary.' When KBC first launched, it wasn't just a new venture for Indian television, it marked a crucial turning point in Amitabh Bachchan's career. At the time, he was going through a significant creative and financial crisis. The success of KBC not only brought him into millions of homes across India but also re-established him as a household name, this time on the small screen.
