Asia’s popular kick sport will be featured in a movie as action-comedy LIbas is set for fall release. Directed by Jurey Latiff Rosli and starring Rosyan Nor and Johan Raja Lawak.
The movie is about Adnan Saladin, a Takraw master who got injured after a tournament. He is now in search for talented ballers to win the championship back from Thailand. The game is unique on its own; besides having a firm grasp on the game it also demands a great skill in Martial Arts. Hopeless in finding the right protégées, he encounters several challenges along the way and to make matter worse he has no choice but to accept the incompetent Ku Mok and Hamidi (Raja Lawak).
For those unfamiliar with the sport, it is a game native to Southeast Asia similar to volleyball where the players touch a rattan ball with their head, chest and feet. The game is not only played in Malaysia and Thailand, but in Indonesia, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and the Philippines as well.
Rosyan Nor will play alongside sexy actress Scha Al-Yahya (playing as Ratna) in this version of Shaolin Soccer, she is also a cast in Action packed drifter movie Evolusi Kl Drift 2. Libas is one of Jurey Rosli’s featured film and will be shown September 30, 2010.
