Papadom : live-interview with Zaki

Papadom is one of Afdlin Shauki's latest movie, which has won the best movie award during FFPAM 2009.





Could a loving husband fulfill his late wife's wishes? This movie tells a tale of Saadom who is a successful Nasi Kandar businessman in Pulau Pinang. His wife's last wish before passing away is for him to take good care of their daughter Mia. From a busy businessman who is so infatuated with his Nasi Kandar business, Saadom changes into a dependable father who is very much focused on his daughter's life. As Mia, grows up she gets a bit annoyed with her father's endless care and devotion towards her which at times seem too much to handle. A huge dilemma arises as Mia is all grown up and ready for University life. Saadom then panics as he has no idea how to fulfill his late wife's wishes while she's away.

Thats true I am absolutely delighted to be in this movie, its an honour for me.
Well about my opinion in Malaysian movie industries, I think its fantastic and i think it can be the best in the region as we can see in the past few years Malaysia produced many Great movies and some even won international awards like Mokhsin if im not mistaken, and i believe many more will come.
If the standards continue to improve im sure one day it can compete with Holywood.
