From History to Film to Stage

Riding on the success of the feel-good movie Ola Bola about Malaysia’s best display of football on the real international stage, now a staged Malaysian musical of the same name by the company that produced Puteri Gunung Ledang. Our producer went to the special media night and then returned to Istana Budaya, the venue of the musical, to talk with Brian Chan who plays the lead, Chow Kwok Keong, the captain of Harimau Malaya. With him was Abi Manyu, who plays ‘Spider-Man Muthu’.
