#SHOWBIZ: Syazwan Zulkifly: I have a history of making Sharnaaz angry
KUALA LUMPUR: A key scene in the hugely popular action movie Blood Brothers: Bara Naga shows hot-headed hero Ghazwan smashing goofy private investigator Jaki's head on the table of a nightclub.
Fortunately, actor Sharnaaz Ahmad who plays Ghazwan did not really bash Syazwan Zulkifly who plays Jaki and inflict nasty injuries to his head.
Nevertheless, Syazwan said in a recent interview that he did have a history of getting "hurt" by Sharnaaz and that was a decade ago, during the filming of the Juvana movie series.
Fortunately, it was not a physical injury, but a scolding from the dashing Penang-born actor who has admitted to being strict and hot-headed.
Syazwan said in a session of podcast Borak Kaypoh that while he was filming a fight scene with Sharnaaz on the set of Juvana in 2013, he had to push Sharnaaz into a large water container and when Sharnaaz fell, he hurt his foot by accidentally kicking the container wall.
"Sharnaaz shouted at me saying 'I said don't push me' and he looked really angry," said Syazwan.
"Later on the set I apologised to him, but he gave me a stern warning not to repeat my mistake."
Since then, Syazwan became a little scared of working with Sharnaaz and when he learnt that he would appear with Sharnaaz in Blood Brothers, he felt uneasy.
"Sharnaaz turned out to be a lot nicer than I expected and thank God for that. And he did not hit my head hard on the table, I did it myself, and suffered my own minor injuries which healed fast," said Syazwan.
"Nevertheless the scared look on Jaki's face when he first sees Ghazwan was very real!"
Syazwan admitted that Sharnaaz did not talk about their "fight" in Juvana and had chosen to forgive and forget.
"We are Blood Brothers now I guess!" said Syazwan.
Blood Brothers has now collected RM70 million at the box office after 20 days of screening.
