NEXT BIG HITS

-

ACTION-packed J-Revolusi opens on March 2 next year and it is director Zulkarnain Azhar’s first feature film.

Inspired by Tan Sri Jins Shamsuddin’s Jefri Zain spy movies of the 1960s, it is about Special Force Unit (UTK) operative Jay (Zul Ariffin). He is on a mission to save his elder sister Dian (Nur Fazura Sharifuddi­n), a former UTK operative who has been captured by ruthless kingpin Andra (Farid Kamil).

Jay learns that Andra has framed him as a mole in his organisati­on, and becomes a fugitive from the law. He has to clear his name and rescue his sister, and discreetly calls on his colleagues to assist him.

The film also stars Izara Aishah and Azad Jazmin as Jay’s colleagues Eddie and Skodeng, respective­ly.

J-Revolusi is co-produced by Grand Brilliance and Infinitus Production­s.
