After the stupendous success of 'Blood Brothers: Bara Naga', this year's local biggie, get ready for 'Part 2: Perang Naga'
Locals fans are going wild with the movie that is seen is the same class of top local production such as 'Police Evo 3' and 'Sheriff: Narko Integriti'.
But here's come the bigger 'biggie' news. The fans have not got enough of it, and the engrossing tale of brotherhood among bodyguards in the world of mafia is just not over yet.
The movie directed by Abhilash Chandra and Syafiq Yusof, will continue in 'Blood Brothers, Part 2: Perang Naga'.
This was confirmed by Abhilash during a fans-press meet event at GSC Nu Sentral in Brickfields. Besides Abhilash actors who played pivotal role in the movies such as Irfan Zaini, Andy Teh and Syazwan Zulkifli also attended the event.
"It has been a fantastic ride. We just want to keep it going. We thank Malaysian fans for their fantastic support. The movie was led by some very dedicated actors and actresses, and we (the production) thank them all for their hard work," said Abhilash, who also added most of the main cast will be retained for the sequel.
"I also like to thank Syafiq for allowing me to work with him in this movie. It is my first take as a director in a major production, and thank god it has turned out to a brilliant effort. I'm thankful Syafiq had the confidence in me to do the job with him."
Both Abhilash and Syafiq are also no stranger to each other having worked with each on many different occasions in the past. In fact, while Abhilash is new to the director's chair, he, however, has worked in many other capacities in local big production movies.
He was also the chief writer for top hits such as 'Polis Evo 3' and 'The Experts' and was the executive producer for 'Police Evo 2'.
Besides Syafiq, Abhilash also paid tribute to Joel Soh, another top local movie producer and director, who led the line for the 'Police Evo' series.
"I learnt much from Joel. He is the man who gave me the impetus to go far in this career line. It has always been my dream to be a director for movies. I could not ask for a better start and at the same time experience work with some super excellence teachers in the Malaysian movie scene," said Abhilash, who had first cut his moves in directing short films and advertisements.
"It has been a challenging and exciting career path. I love every part of it and I hope I keep achieving something new in my career in the near future."

For the Record
The movie is further heated up with the excellent rock ballad 'Bara Jiwa' sung by Azlan Typewriter and Muzza Velvettones. Ever since the song was officially announced as the theme-song for the action thriller -- 'Blood Brothers: Bara Naga' -- 'Bara Jiwa' is now a big favourite with the music fans in the country.
The song "Bara Jiwa" also ignites the spirit with its poetic lyrics and deep, moving music, perfectly blending with the film's intense emotions and dramatic action.
In less than three weeks since its release, including early screenings, Syafiq's latest action thriller, 'Blood Brothers: Bara Naga', has collected a remarkable RM55 million at the local box office.
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). It also marked the official entry of Abhilash as leading director in the country.
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.
Starring a stellar lineup of local talents – Sharnaaz Ahmad, Syafiq Kyle, Shukri Yahaya, Amelia Henderson, and many more – the film delves into the world of elite bodyguards, filled with betrayal, battles, and the testing of brotherhood bonds.
A Story That Burns Bright – Revenge, Brotherhood & Sacrifice:
The film follows Ariff (Syafiq Kyle), a bodyguard who is framed and forced to seek the help of his long-lost brother, Jaki (Syazwan Zulkifly).
Hunted by his own former best friend and 'big brother', Ghaz (Sharnaaz Ahmad) – the leader of the elite bodyguard team once called the "Blood Brothers" – Ariff becomes entangled in an emotional and soul-shaking war of betrayal in his search for truth.
While gangster movies are a staple diet in the Malaysian movie scene, this certain just over two-hour movie stands out due to its engrossing storyline and fine performances of all the actors and actresses involved. The incredible chemistry between Syafiq and Ghaz just carries the movie throughout the show.

Seremban family's RM200 flag display for Merdeka competition
SEREMBAN: Jasmin Abu Hassan has turned his Taman Pinggiran Senawang residence into a spectacular display of patriotism using only RM200. The 53-year-old water company supervisor decorated his house with over 150 flags for the 'Rumah Terpaling Merdeka' competition. He received assistance from his wife Rosmaini Mohd Yusof, a 47-year-old kindergarten teacher, throughout the two-week decoration process. Jasmin explained how this year's effort surpassed his previous attempts at festive decoration. 'Last year I only hung flags, but this time I added a special touch by including extra decorations,' he stated. The additional elements included the Negeri Sembilan state flag and portraits of national leaders displayed at his house entrance. 'This year is livelier because there are winners every week,' Jasmin commented about the enhanced competition format. He noted that the decorations have become more creative compared to previous years. 'The children are excited to help,' Jasmin added about family participation in the project. He proudly displayed portraits of all Malaysian Prime Ministers from the first to the current leader. Jasmin achieved the overall runner-up position in last year's competition. The father of six has resided in the neighborhood for twenty-five years. Approximately forty percent of his decorations remain incomplete before the month-end deadline. Taman Pinggiran Senawang Neighbourhood Watch chairman Fadzil Sharil expressed satisfaction with the competition's growth. The 59-year-old chairman noted the event now enters its second successful year. 'We have received growing response, with more than 80 per cent of residents participating,' Fadzil revealed. He observed that participants showcase greater creativity in decorating their homes compared to last year. 'So far, we already have four weekly winners,' the chairman told reporters. Although the prizes are modest medals, hampers and daily necessities, Fadzil praised participants' extraordinary spirit. 'Every week new elements are added, making the neighbourhood livelier,' he remarked. Twenty best-decorated houses will advance to the finals scheduled for September 6. The competition features four judging categories: cheerfulness, arrangement, creativity and neatness. The neighbourhood watch committee has also created a national landmark replica for the celebrations. They constructed miniature KLCC towers using 500 recycled bottles and PVC pipes. This community project forms part of the broader National Month decorations throughout the area. - Bernama

Communications Ministry To Conduct Study On Music Industry Development, Issues And Challenges
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Communications is implementing a Music Industry Development Study to examine issues, challenges and proposed action plans towards empowering the sustainable and dynamic development of the Malaysian music industry. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the study is also refining business models, governance, staffing and specific laws that can support the development of the industry. 'For music, we currently do not have a specific act, therefore the ministry is looking into the best way to ensure that an act is drafted to ensure the welfare, sustainability and development of the music industry. 'We are looking into it and this study also takes into account the views and input of music industry players through the Music Industry Protem Committee,' he said when winding up the debate on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) motion for the Ministry of Communications at the Dewan Rakyat today. He said a total of 20 members of the Music Industry Protem Committee had been appointed, from various fields including composers, lyricists, recording companies or studios, singers, musicians, Collective Management Organisations (CMOs), publishing companies, association representatives, academicians and event management. Fahmi said the results of the study would be used as input in determining the availability and need for a specific body to regulate the development of the music industry or to include the music industry in the functions of existing agencies or regulatory bodies. Regarding the proposed amendments to the National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia Act (Finas) 1981 (Act 244), Fahmi said it is expected to be tabled in the upcoming Parliament meeting scheduled for this October. He said the process of improving the act includes expanding the scope of regulation, governance, functions and enforcement aspects of the act. Among the proposed amendments under Act 244 is related to the membership of Finas Corporation Members, which falls under the scope of governance which aims to improve the membership structure so that it consists of experienced local film industry players, has an excellent record of achievement in the field of local film and has credibility in fighting for the welfare of industry players.
