Actor/director Syamsul Yusof is currently one of the most sought-after young directors in Malaysia right now, with back-to-back success of 2008's EVOLUSI: KL DRIFT and 2010's EVOLUSI: KL DRIFT 2.
Now he is back with a new action movie called KL GANGSTER, a story revolving around Kuala Lumpur's violent gang scene. Below is the synopsis for the movie.
KL GANGSTER is about two brothers who get involved in the world of gangsterism. The older brother Malek (Aaron Aziz) was imprisoned for five years after being betrayed by his own gang which was started by Shark (Syamsul Yusof), the step brother of the most influential gangster in Kuala Lumpur, King (Ridzuan Hashim). Malek who leads a normal life after being released, is pulled back into the world he left behind after all those years. Especially since his younger brother Jai (Adyputra) is influenced by the gangsters and decides to work for Shark bringing everything down in chaos.
In the meantime, check this exciting trailer below. I must say those action scenes rivaled the production from Hong Kong and Thailand!
KL GANGSTER will be unleashed into our local theaters on June 9, 2011. The movie stars Syamsul Yusuf, Ridzuan Hashim, Aaron Aziz, Adyputra, Zizan Raja Lawak, Sheera, Shoffi Jikan and Adam Corrie. It is written and directed by Syamsul Yusuf.
