00:00 This is a legend. If this happens, if this succeeds, it will be a film that people will remember forever.
00:05 Because this is one of our highest military achievements.
00:08 Alright guys, so today on Spotlight GMW, we have two Malay heroes.
00:18 We have Khairul Azrin and Zahiril with us today.
00:22 And they are here because there is a new film that will be released, Malbat Misi Bakara.
00:27 [Music]
00:40 So guys, thank you so much for spending time with us.
00:44 Thank you.
00:45 How are you?
00:46 I'm good.
00:48 How long have you been doing this project?
00:52 Last week we came to Malaysia for the last year.
00:56 Last year, so exactly a year.
00:58 Yes, approximately.
00:59 Firstly, I want to start with a question for both of you.
01:01 What is this story about?
01:04 This story is based on a true story.
01:07 Our heroes, our Malaysian soldiers, happened in 1993.
01:13 At that time, I was only 3 years old.
01:15 But I still remember the incident about Somalia in the news.
01:19 The Malaysian soldiers had the courage to risk their lives to enter the Bakara market
01:26 which was full of Somali militants at that time to save the US soldiers.
01:31 They were either alive or dead.
01:33 The US soldiers were out of bullets and stranded.
01:38 So, if we watch the film 'Black Hawk Down', that is the actual story.
01:42 But in the film, we are appreciated only in one scene, in one dialogue.
01:50 It is called "Get help from Malay Army".
01:54 That's all.
01:54 And Pakis.
01:55 And Pakis.
01:56 Actually, the Malaysian soldiers were the ones who entered the market with the courage
02:00 and not loyal to the direction to save the US soldiers.
02:04 So, what made you guys individually interested to join this project?
02:09 When we watched the film 'Black Hawk Down',
02:12 we saw that our name was in Malay.
02:15 And at that time, I had already made the film 'Paskal'.
02:18 So, many soldiers said that we have to show the world or the Malaysian people
02:23 what happened in 1993.
02:25 And at that time, Adrian, our director, wanted to produce this film.
02:28 I said, "This is a legend.
02:30 If this film is successful, it will be remembered by the world."
02:34 Because this is one of our highest military achievements.
02:38 And the world knows us because of 1993.
02:40 Because of this unit.
02:42 What is the struggle when you bring a character like this?
02:46 Or throughout the shooting process?
02:48 Because I can't imagine the physical requirements.
02:50 It must be crazy.
02:53 Of course, we have to go into the military camp first.
02:56 About a week.
02:56 A week.
02:57 A week too.
02:57 We train with the Malaysian military.
03:00 Details.
03:01 In terms of running, PT training, physical, weapon handling,
03:07 and many more.
03:08 Radio.
03:09 Radio, speech, speech.
03:11 If we want to enter a building, how do we clear it?
03:14 How do we...
03:15 CQB.
03:16 CQB situation, right?
03:17 That's what they call it.
03:18 And in Turkey, we were shooting in Turkey.
03:20 We also have a military advisor from Hollywood.
03:23 But it's tiring.
03:24 Because we carry a lot of things, like helmets, when shooting.
03:28 And we have to take care of our stamina.
03:32 Can I ask?
03:33 In between the scenes, what moment do you think you will never forget
03:37 in terms of the challenge to act?
03:40 When we were on set, we had a language problem.
03:43 So, there was one scene where I was alone with about 100 Turkish people
03:49 who didn't understand English.
03:50 So, that's what made me...
03:51 "How do I tell you to move forward a bit?"
03:53 So, I had to take half an hour to tell them to move forward a bit.
03:56 So, that's the tricky part.
03:58 For me, the challenge was a lot of explosions and gunshots.
04:02 But I think the scenes will be very effective
04:06 in terms of the visual when the story comes out.
04:07 God willing.
04:08 Okay, so my next question is for Hairul.
04:10 Because you've acted a lot in a story that requires a variety of costumes.
04:16 How did you arrange all of these offers?
04:19 Did you plan it?
04:22 I did plan it because I was in as a stuntman.
04:25 I wanted to be an action hero.
04:28 So, after that, every offer I got, I just wanted to be an action hero.
04:30 But at first, people didn't accept it.
04:32 I was thin and skinny.
04:33 So, I had to build my body.
04:35 I had to train in fighting.
04:37 I had to train in how to use a gun.
04:39 I was too tough.
04:40 So, I made...
04:42 If there was a movie, I just wanted to be an action hero.
04:44 I wanted to make a story about Pascal, a name I know.
04:47 And then, I made a story about the two policewomen.
04:51 So, I made a uniformed movie based on a military movie.
04:54 So, people saw me making a uniformed movie.
04:58 Even though I was targeting action movies.
05:00 Okay, so after that, my next question is for Zahiril.
05:02 Because a lot of people said that you prefer deep stories.
05:08 Or is it just a coincidence?
05:11 Or is it something that you planned?
05:13 It's not like I chose deep stories.
05:17 I just chose the stories that I thought were good.
05:20 The story was good.
05:22 The plot was good.
05:23 The graphics were good.
05:24 And to get all of that in one story,
05:27 it became a deep story.
05:28 -I see. -I understand.
05:29 But I don't have a problem with making light stories.
05:32 Two types of entertainment.
05:34 But the offer I got was mostly deep stories.
05:39 And it's also good for us to test...
05:44 To challenge my acting skills.
05:48 So, I think to wrap up our conversation for today,
05:53 I want each of you to describe the movie,
05:56 Malbat Misi Bakara, in three words.
05:59 But you have to be different.
06:01 You can't share the words.
06:03 It won't pass the GMW.
06:05 Action.
06:08 -Fear. -Oh, fear.
06:10 -Courage. -Okay.
06:12 I've taken all of them.
06:15 A story that was created.
06:18 -No. -Wow.
06:20 Okay, okay.
06:21 So, don't forget to watch Malbat Misi Bakara
06:25 which is available on PowerGum now.
06:28 Thank you guys so much once again for taking the time with us.
06:30 Do you have any last final words to say to the people at home
06:33 who want to watch this story?
06:35 To all soldiers in the country,
06:38 whether you're in the middle of a struggle or you're already old,
06:41 thank you for your service.
06:43 Okay, don't forget to watch Malbat Misi Bakara
06:46 because it's a Malaysian movie
06:48 which I think everyone should know and watch.
06:50 Especially the younger generation.
06:52 My children, if you want to read history, you can refer to this movie.
06:57 Although it's a bit fictitious,
06:59 but in 1993,
07:01 this is the story we have to tell.
07:04 This is our time to tell the story.
07:08 (GUNFIRE)
07:10 -Hey, buddy! Where you from? -Malaysia!
07:13 -Where? -M!
07:14 A! A! A!
07:16 -My... -M!
07:18 Malaysia!
