Datuk M. Nasir embraces new acting opportunities
Well known for his serious and romantic roles, he said he is not confined to any specific genre and is open to accepting and taking on any role that is offered. 08 Jun 2025 03:16pm Legendary Malaysian artiste Datuk M. Nasir has long been celebrated not only for his contributions as a singer, songwriter and visual artiste, but also for his distinctive presence on screen. - Photo by Bernama KUALA LUMPUR - With a career spanning over four decades, legendary Malaysian artiste Datuk M. Nasir has long been celebrated not only for his contributions as a singer, songwriter and visual artiste, but also for his distinctive presence on screen. His powerful performances continue to leave a lasting impression on audiences, proving that his acting talent is just as compelling as his musical legacy. Since making his film debut in 1986 with Kembara Seniman Jalanan, the Singapore-born artiste, known as the sifu of Malaysia's music industry, has consistently delivered performances with a 'magical touch' that have left a lasting impact on viewers. Some of the films starring the Mentera Semerah Padi and Tanya Sama Itu Hud-Hud hitmaker have not only sparked widespread discussion but also achieved box office success, including Fenomena (1990), Selubung (1992), and Puteri Gunung Ledang (2004). Legendary Malaysian artiste Datuk M. Nasir has long been celebrated not only for his contributions as a singer, songwriter and visual artiste, but also for his distinctive presence on screen. - Photo by Bernama Riding on this success, the husband of Marlia Musa-well known for his serious and romantic roles-said he is not confined to any specific genre and is open to accepting and taking on any role that is offered. "I think producers assume I only want to do serious things. Actually, if I like the character and the story, I don't mind. I can do comedy too," he told reporters. M. Nasir, whose full name is Mohamad Nasir Mohamed, demonstrated his versatility-including comedic roles-when he played a primary school principal in the latest music video Wamwamsam by comedian-singer Joey Daud. Although his appearance in the video was brief, the laid-back portrayal by the music maestro-deviating from his usual serious or romantic characters-brought a breath of fresh air to his showbiz career. For the father of six, there are no strict conditions when it comes to accepting acting offers, as long as the script and character are compelling and capture his interest. "If I have the time and the story appeals to me, I'll do it. The last time I acted in a film was in 2023, in Imam. Since then, I've done a bit of drama work and voiceover for a local animated film," said the Mentera Semerah Padi singer. Meanwhile, the Most Popular Male Singer award winner at Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian in 1994, 2000, and 2001 is also reported to be involved in an upcoming film titled Daud M Origin, playing the role of Joey's father, who leads the movie. "I didn't say I accepted the offer (Daud M Origin); Joey did. I asked him whether he was actually offering me the father role, but before I could respond, he had already confirmed it. Well, we'll see-if the deal is good," he said. - BERNAMA More Like This
