Dilraba Dilmurat is the actual "Shaolin Women's Soccer" lead?
29 May – Although it was previously rumoured that Dilraba Dilmurat will be playing a guest role or a supporting character in Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Women's Soccer", many are now speculating that the actress actually has a bigger role and might be the lead in the movie. It was previously reported that the lead actress for the movie, which has been filming in a hush-hush, was Zhang Xiaofei, who is most known for her many collaborations with comedienne Jia Ling. Many speculated that Zhang was the lead originally due to her jersey number in the movie, which bore the same No. 10 like Stephen had in his own film. On the other hand, Dilraba reportedly has a No. 8 jersey on. However, it was recently revealed that the "YOLO" actress has already completed all of her parts in the film even before the crew finished shooting. However, Dilraba, who has participated in the shoot since day one, is reported to will only conclude her role in June, sparking speculations that she is the actual star of the movie. Notably, the production of "Shaolin Women's Soccer" has been extremely low-key and secretive about the shoot. It is said that the film was shot in a large stadium in Shenzhen, Guangdong and a large number of tents, cranes and rest vehicles were set up in the venue.

Fans blast online short drama for AI-generated Dilraba Dilmurat
14 Apr - Fans of Dilraba Dilmurat recently expressed anger over the irresponsible party misusing AI to generate the actress' image for their online short drama. Recently, a short drama titled "Ni Qi" was found to have used AI to replace their original actor's face with Dilraba's, causing fans of the actress to immediately claim infringement and demanding her agency to take legal action. Netizens pointed out that in some of the scenes involving the lead character, who is a high school student, the face does not resemble Dilraba at all from the side, but then changes to the Uyghur actress' face when she turns around. This is not the first time that a celebrity's face was misused by others via AI to promote their products. Louis Koo and Raymond Lam's images were previously generated to promote an online casino gaming. It is noted that the said short drama, which consists of a series of two to three minute-episodes, has been shown on multiple online short drama apps prior to the complaint. A manager of one of these platforms stated that they have already initiated the process to delete scenes involving the actress' image. (Photo Source: Dilraba Weibo, Louis Fanpage IG, Sin Chew)

Dilraba Dilmurat to star in Stephen Chow's new movie?
5 Mar - Rumours are rife that Dilraba Dilmurat has been cast to star in the highly-anticipated Stephen Chow film, "Shaolin Women's Soccer". Sources recently said that the Uyghur actress has travelled to Shenzhen for the filming of the movie, and will play the lead alongside other actors that include Zhang Yixing and Zhang Xiaofei. However, another theory has emerged saying that Dilraba might only be making a guest appearance. At present, neither Stephen Chow, the film company nor Dilraba herself have responded to the rumour, and the finalised list of cast remains to be seen. It was back on his 61st birthday in 2023 that Stephen announced that he is developing an all-female version of his hit 2001 movie, "Shaolin Soccer". The comedy auteur then began to hold major casting calls all over the world, attracting about 30,000 people to sign up, from actors, singers, athletes to even ordinary people.
