#SHOWBIZ: Osman's tragic tale of 'girl in the well' finally hits cinemas
ACCLAIMED director Osman Ali took three years to complete 'Telaga Suriram', largely because of the Movement Control Order (MCO) imposed by the government between 2020 and 2022. At the recent preview of 'Telaga Suriram' in Dadi Cinema, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur in Jalan Bukit Bintang, Osman said that his cast and crew took a six-month break, so filming was only wrapped up in a year. "It was very tricky; the actors and actresses could not alter their appearances too much, so everybody watched their weight and looks. "And as for the titular character Suriram, I had a substitute for her in certain scenes where she appears as a ghost. "The brilliant young star, Puteri Rafasya, grew considerably over the months so she could not be Suriram in all her appearances, alive or as a ghost." GOPENG Osman also said that the characters of Maimon played by Nabila Huda Suhaimi and Rohaya played by Maya Karin were multi-faceted and "deep", and their emotional scenes underwent many takes. The film's rating is 16, and Osman avoided sensitive scenes all the way. "I did a lot of self-censorship, I minimised violence and did not show any suggestive scenes, only suggestive dialogue." Osman filmed the RM3 million 'Telaga Suriram' in three locations namely Kodiang in Kedah, Kangar in Perlis and Gopeng in Perak. He said: "I chose to have missing children as the theme of the movie because they often become the focus of the community, and this has been going on for ages. "Although most cases are solved by the authorities, there are also a few that remain mysteries." Osman added that according to folklore, many old wells are haunted and are believed to take human lives especially children who wander away from their homes and get lost. "So, I thought it would be very interesting to produce a story that combines mystical elements with beliefs that have been passed down." MYSTERY Produced by Odissi Creative Sdn Bhd, 'Telaga Suriram' is about 9-year-old Suriram whose disappearance becomes a ghost story to her fellow villagers. Her mother Rohaya (Maya) and father Sopiyan (Indonesian actor Fauzi Baadilla) frantically search for her, and with the help of their headman's son Zakir (Farid Kamil) and the no-nonsense district police chief ASP Karmila (Scha Alyahya), they finally discover that she drowned in an isolated well. Rohaya falls into deep depression, and suspects that her late daughter's mute babysitter Maimon (Nabila Huda) killed her. Meanwhile, Maimon's mother and village midwife Khadijah (Ellie Suriaty Omar) strongly protests her daughter's innocence and tries to convince the villagers that Suriram's tragic death could have been the work of people close to her as well as those "in high places". The film's producer Yus Yusop said: "The film, which we produced in 2022, underwent a meticulous process from script to post-production. That is why it took three years to complete, and I'm happy with the end result." EMOTIONAL POWERHOUSE Scha said that 'Telaga Suriram' was her first collaboration with Osman. "Ellie was our acting coach and I thank her for helping me play the tough, no-nonsense Karmila," she said. Puteri Rafasya, who plays Suriram, is excited to be a major character for the first time. "I love this movie because it carries important lessons about family, friendship and vengeance," she said. Nabila Huda said that the movie was an emotional powerhouse all the way. "It is one of my most taxing movies and my character Maimon suffered a lot. "She was literally thrown into the lake, trapped in a crashed car, caged and pelted with mud and rocks, pushed into the mud, beaten with sticks and kicked to the ground." Maya said that the biggest challenge everyone had was to go in and out of their characters. "No thanks to the pandemic and the MCO, filming started and stopped before resuming, and it was a tricky process for everyone. "As for Fauzi, he is a great actor and played his character to perfection, the only good guy amongst the men in the story." Farid said that he was playing a crooked politician for the first time, and it is a stark contrast from playing an upright one in a prominent Malaysian leader's biopic two years ago. "The most unusual thing we encountered during filming was the presence of fearsome tigers! "A couple of them were spotted in the jungle close to our filming location, and everyone had to keep quiet and not go near them," he said. Ellie said that 'Telaga Suriram' marked her first starring role in an Osman movie.

#SHOWBIZ: Nabila: Papa and I may seldom meet these days, but he's always my hero
KUALA LUMPUR: Award-winning actress Nabila Huda Suhaimi admits that she seldom gets to meet her father, rock legend Datuk Suhaimi Abdul Rahman or Amy of Search these days. Nabila, 41, said that every meeting with Amy is an emotional one, and it hurts to hear from netizens that she "should spend more time with him". "Every time I meet papa, I shed tears of joy and embrace him. We both have our work commitments, and that's why we seldom get to meet, but whenever we do, it's always a moment of joy," said Nabila at the preview of her latest movie Telaga Suriram at Dadi Cinema in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Bukit Bintang yesterday. Nabila admitted that since she was a child, Amy seldom spent time with her, and she often missed him. Nevertheless, he has always been her hero and role model in life. "During Hari Raya, I could not be with him due to work commitments, but we bumped into each other by chance. I was overjoyed and shed so many tears," she said, adding that their Raya meeting was a blessing from God. Nabila said that she was "tired" of being ticked off by netizens for not spending enough time with her father, and added that such people should refrain from passing judgement on her. "I'm not bothered about such people anymore. They'll never stop speculating. I know who I am and I love papa dearly." Nabila recently uploaded a brief video on Instagram showing her meeting Amy and embracing her father. Many netizens were moved by their meeting which took place during Hari Raya, but some netizens criticised Nabila for not spending quality time with her father.

Grab your limited-edition CD and cassette – exclusive and nostalgic New Milestone KRU also has set a new milestone not only with a personal record but also with a significant chapter in the local entertainment industry as 2025 begins, when the Konsert GenKRU will be held for not just one or two days, but three. The magnitude of the empire and influence that KRU, or Kumpulan Rap Unggul, has had—and continues to hold—spans across generations and music fans since its inception in 1992. This has also solidified KRU's place as a legendary trio in the local music scene, as its plan to hold Konsert GenKRU this coming May 3, was extended to two days due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for the first day of the concert (May 3) sold out in just one hour, while tickets for the second day (May 4) were completely gone in only 45 minutes. And the third one was also achieved in good time. To meet fans' requests, the organiser, together with KRU members Datuk Norman, Datuk Yusry, and Edry, unanimously decided to add another day, making Konsert GenKRU a three-day event on May 10, 2025. "The decision to add a third day was driven by the enthusiasm and high demand from fans, especially those who missed out on tickets for the first and second days. 'The third day on May 10, 2025, is not opportunistic; rather, KRU does not want to disappoint fans. KRU also wants to prove that local musicians have a strong influence and power in their own market. Successfully holding a large-scale concert for three nights is an honour for our local artistes,' said Icon Entertainment founder, Iman Tang. The GenKRU Concert at Axiata Arena will mark KRU's first major performance after six years. For the record, their last major studio album was 'Krunomena' in 2013 and their last major release was 'Gergasi' in 2018, a compilation album.
