Syafiq Yusof admits "Soloz: Game of Life" was his most challenging film to-date
28 Jan - Syafiq Yusof recently admitted that his new movie, "Soloz: Game of Life" is the hardest film he has ever made to-date, despite having helmed many action films throughout his career.
The filmmaker, who spoke to the media about the new movie that revolves around the world of e-sports, particularly Mobile Legends, said he had to learn many new things and do extensive research throughout the process as it's a new kind of world to him.
"If you are used to my works, this film is quite out of the box as it goes against my usual theme of gangsterism, horror and police story. It's quite challenging as it includes various elements including drama, e-sports and animation," he said.
Syafiq added that directing his 2024 hit film, "Sheriff: Narko Integriti" was way easier compared to "Soloz".
Meanwhile, the director stated that the movie is not a biopic, though it was inspired by the real life of Malaysian e-sport player, Soloz, real name Muhammad Faris Zakaria.
"Because of him, I think this kind of movie has to be created especially for parents in Malaysia, so that we can change their perspectives when it comes to the world of video games," he added.
The film stars Hun Haqeem, Imal Amry, Syafie Naswip and Noki K-clique among others and has been in theatres since 23 January.
