KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- YB Senator Dato’ Sri Ti Lian Ker, Deputy Minister of Youth & Sports (KBS) celebrated the official movie premiere of Anak Rimau The Movie (Anak Rimau) - a football-themed film that brings together a line-up of Malaysia’s prominent actors to piece together a hope-fuelled, heart-warming film with a touching storyline that channels family values, hard decisions, integrity, and friendships. The launch of the film is also timely as it brings an inspiring message during Merdeka and is sure to be a favorite among youths - given that FIFA World Cup 2022 is just around the corner.
 
The film was shot and produced by Keeklr Films in a joint venture collaboration with Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) and is brought to you by Cyberlynx International College. Not only does the film fall under the leadership of several household producers including Fadzil Manap and directed by Areel Abu Bakar; the movie cast involves some of Malaysia’s prominent actors such as Beto Kusyairy, Idan Aedan, Azhan Rani, and Adam Corrie, along with elites from the Mokhtar Dahari National Football Academy (AMD) and the National Football Development Programme (NFDP).
 
Anak Rimau The Movie relives the journey of a group of highly talented and skillful teenage boys of diverse backgrounds as they enter the National Football Academy of Malaysia (Anak Rimau Academy). The boys go through many challenges, both individually and as a team, as they face a new chapter in the life of football. Hence, the players must conquer their personal conundrums and team obstacles before even thinking about winning games. The absolute test of self-determination, self-confidence, and pure perseverance is measured through teamwork, family issues, life obstacles, and the race to become the very best in order to win the ASEAN Youth Football Invitation Cup.
                                                                               
YB Senator Dato’ Sri Ti Lian Ker, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports (KBS), commended the Anak Rimau production team for their strong determination in filmmaking, saying, “It must have been a great challenge for the cast and crew of Anak Rimau to successfully produce this astounding feature film despite the challenges during the pandemic. The journey towards completing the movie is a strong display of dedication, leadership, and resilience by itself - all of which are also embedded within the key messaging in the Anak Rimau movie to inspire the youths to reach for the stars and bring pride to our beloved country.”
 
Fadzil Manap, Producer of Anak Rimau The Movie, said, “In this day and age, films occupy a significant portion of media products consumed by the youth that act as a strong means of communication for bringing significant changes in society. As a consequence, how these films are portrayed and the messages it relays have an influence on an individual’s lifestyle, mindset, and perspective on society. Taking this into consideration whilst creating the film, Anak Rimau The Movie aims to not only empower the youth but also act as a powerful medium of education, information, and entertainment which helps individuals in building a strong foundation for social transformation in Malaysia.”
                                                                               
Football fans and movie enthusiasts nationwide can enjoy Anak Rimau The Movie beginning 1 September 2022, in conjunction with Merdeka Day, and just ahead of the Fifa World Cup 2022 at cinemas nearest to them.  

Anak Rimau The Movie is produced in association with CYBERLYNX INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE & AL-IKHSAN .
