Malaysian Film To Hit Cinemas In India This April
PETALING JAYA (Selangor, Malaysia), Jan 10 (Bernama) -- A bilingual science
fiction film, 3Genius, produced by a Malaysian company, is set to hit 160
cinemas in India this April.
Deputy Information, Communication and Culture Minister Senator Maglin Dennis
D'Cruz said the movie will be shown during school holidays in the country.
"This is good progress as it is not easy for a local film to get the
opportunity to be shown in India," he told reporters after launching the film
produced by On Track Animation Sdn Bhd, here this evening.
Maglin said he will help promote the Malay and Tamil language movie during
his working visit to India on Jan 23.
"The government continues to support efforts to improve the national film
industry. Besides that, efforts to promote local Tamil films abroad also hopes
to encourage local producers to come up with more of such films," he said.
Meanwhile, On Track Animation Sdn Bhd Chief Executive Officer
G.Punniamoorthy said the film costing RM1.9 million (US$624,680) will begin
shooting this month.
"This movie is about the relationship and career of three friends with three
different backgrounds, giving the audience a feel of our multi-cultural
community in Malaysia.
"Besides science fiction, 3Genius contains elements of action and comedy,"
he said.
He added that there are plans to show the film in other countries including
Sri Lanka.
