Sharifah previously said that it was” surreal” to see La Luna being selected as Singapore’s Oscar entry.

Being Hani Abdullah in La Luna was a deeply personal practice for me, and it’s just unbelievable to discover Singapore recognize it as their standard Oscar nominee, she wrote.

” I’m so appreciative of the extraordinary team that makes La Luna, Singapore for embracing this narrative, and each and every viewer who found their own voice in this movie. We all who think that story can help bridge divisions should be aware of this reputation.

The iconic Malaysian pop group KRU has reunited for a new song, six years after its disbandment. Comprising brothers Norman, Yusry and Edry, KRU ruled Malaysia’s music charts in the 90s and early 2000s with hit songs such as Fanatik, Jangan Lafazkan and Awas.

In 1997, KRU expanded into film production and went on to create multiple box-office successes over the years including Cicakman and Duyung. In 2018, the group announced that it would be disbanding as a music act to focus on their own responsibilities and personal lives.

KRU’s new song Voodoo was released on Nov 22 and its accompanying music video, on Nov 27.

With Voodoo, the trio also became the first Malaysian act to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into creating their digital twins for a music video; the video features a boyband (played by the musicians themselves) in AI form that was manufactured by a female scientist in a secret laboratory in the 1990s.

Anirudh, who began his career in Tamil cinema and has gone on to become one of South India’s most successful composers known across India for his work in Bollywood and Tollywood as well, is also a playback artist who has lent his vocals to hundreds of songs. It is far from his first concert in Singapore. Being so prolific, what does it look like inside his head?

“Sometimes, it’s pink, sometimes, it’s pitch black as well. The power goes off now and then,” the 34-year-old quipped.

“Even if you ask Rana about how he goes to set and when he’s given his lines and how he delivers his performance, you never know, right? You don’t know where that inspiration comes from. I think we’ve just been blessed with that,” he continued. 

“And, I think, apart from me making music or him being not just an actor but into so many things as well – he’s an entrepreneur, he’s a producer, one of the biggest in India – when it comes to our creativity, we really don’t know where it actually comes from.”

What he does know is that he wouldn’t have an easy time trying to grow a big ol’ handlebar moustache like the one Rana is currently sporting while he’s filming for his next project, which is set in the 1950s, the actor told us.

“I think it would be very difficult for me to grow one,” Anirudh laughed.
