Move over #lofattah, here comes #fattzura!
THE latest television drama directed and produced by Michael Ang, Hero Seorang Cinderella, has been receiving better response compared with last year’s phenomenal series Suri Hati Mr. Pilot, both aired on Astro Ria and starring actor Fattah Amin.
In Hero Seorang Cinderella, which premiered last week, Fattah, 26, stars opposite 33-year-old actress Nur Fazura Sharifuddin.
“The feedback I received from Astro based on the first two episodes have been good. The live views have surpassed what Suri Hati Mr. Pilot recorded for its first two episodes,” said Ang recently.
At press time, Astro has yet to receive the official weekly ratings report for the drama’s first four episodes, which aired from Monday to Thursday last week.
Ang said his team and the TV station were anxious to see how the 26-episode drama series would fare now that the show has a few challenges.
“Now that it is Ramadan, we are unsure how the ratings would be as the show is aired at 10pm — around the time Muslims would still be performing their terawih prayers,” he added.
Last year, Suri Hati Mr. Pilot’s stars Fattah and Neelofa, had fans glued to television sets to watch the love story between their two characters.
Fans subsequently created the #lofattah phenomenon which blew up on social media.
It soon came to light that the two co-stars were also in a relationship off screen, although it was short-lived after the drama series ended.
Not surprisingly, another hashtag has quickly emerged — #fattzura.
Fans are divided on social media though, with some still hanging on to #lofattah, while others giving #fattzura their approval.
“Fazura has been professional and I find it easy working with her,” said Ang.
He said Fattah, who won the Most Popular Actor award at the Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian 3.0, had improved. By Tahir Alhamzah
