KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — The company behind the production of the biopic Mahathir: The Journey has come out to clarify the project will go ahead as planned despite not receiving the endorsement of the real life characters depicted in the movie.
“Once the PMO gave us permission, then only did we launch the film, with us then officially informing all the characters involved in the near future. Marina said she would rather not see such a film being made, and that receiving the PMO’s approval was not the same as her family agreeing to such a project.
“Actually, after the launch of this film we did get in touch with Marina’s assistant, even the actress playing the role, Ning Baizura, had also contacted her. Recent reports of Mahathir: The Journey presents Azhar Amir as playing the role of Dr Mahathir, with singer Fauziah Latiff as Tun Dr Siti Hasmah.
