Fresh track from Aamir Khan’s film

Never too old

THE makers of Sitaare Zameen Par , starring Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, have released the first track Good For Nothing from the movie, following positive response to the trailer. This energetic and uplifting track features Aamir Khan, who takes to the court as Coach Gulshan, leading a spirited group of specially abled young athletes through high-energy basketball drills. The song sets the tone for the film’s lively, determined and heartwarming journey. The music video reflects

o Actor Rosyam Nor believes age should not determine leading roles V ETERAN producer and actor Datuk Rosyam Nor believes age should not define a leading role, asserting the term “old hero” is outdated in today’s cinematic landscape. Describing talent as a timeless gift, Rosyam, whose real name is Mohamed Noor Shamsuddin, 58, wants to see more senior actors returning to the spotlight. “People say if I play a hero, I am considered an old hero. I disagree. There is no such thing as an old or young hero. If he is a hero, he is a hero. For example, our father – do we call him an old father as he ages? No, right? It is the same in films – even if the person is 70 years old, he can still be a hero. That is what I have always voiced out,” he told reporters after the trailer launch of the Keluang Man film recently. Rosyam, famously known as Hero Malaya, said the acting talent of experienced actors is still relevant and can add value to a production, especially when paired with younger actors. “Therefore, give us opportunities – especially in action films. We already have our own fan base, and when we are combined with young actors, it can attract two groups of viewers – the old and the new,” he said. Citing the success of the Hindi film Mohabbatein , which paired Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, the Best Actor at the 16th Malaysian Film Festival said such an approach reflects generational diversity in mainstream works and attracts a broader audience spectrum. He said generational collaboration not only allows veteran actors to continue

Gulshan’s unrelenting optimism and tough-love coaching style as he inspires his team to push past limitations with grit, humour and camaraderie. With its colourful visuals and infectious rhythm, Good For Nothing celebrates teamwork, resilience and the joy of sport, offering a glimpse into the film’s vibrant emotional landscape. r . l s or es e

Commenting on his involvement in the local superhero film Keluang Man , he admitted feeling proud to be given the opportunity to act in a film directed by Anwari Ashraf, adapted from the iconic 1990s animation. “This is my first superhero film and I am proud because it is made by a younger generation of filmmakers, adapted from an DIVE into the social theme of healthy marital life through Astro’s Vinmeen exclusive series House Kanavan (house husband), which premiered yesterday on Astro Vinmeen (channel 202) via TV, Astro GO, On Demand and Sooka. The story centres around Amudha, an ambitious woman who dreams of pursuing a career but encounters challenges due to her conservative mother-in-law’s rigid expectations. Amudha’s husband Shiva, who struggles to balance his roles as a husband and son, is hesitant to defy his mother although he wishes to support Amudha’s dreams and goals. Their lives take an unexpected turn when Anjali and Vishnu move next door as new neighbours. Vishnu, a house husband by choice, earns Amudha’s admiration and inspires reflection through his gentle care for Anjali’s ailing mother and his unwavering support for his wife’s career. Her efforts to bring changes in Shiva by encouraging him to take on more responsibilities at home lead to deeper tensions within the family, as their differing expectations begin to unravel their delicate balance. Will Amudha defy social and familial norms in order to fulfil her dream of being financially independent by having a career? In the middle of the chaos and conflicts, will she be able to transform Shiva into a more responsible person at home while being her
