MMU Alumni Make Waves in Keluang Man and Ejen Ali: The Movie 2

Malaysian cinema is making waves this month with two major releases: the live-action adaptation of Keluang Man (premiering 29 May 2025) and the animated blockbuster Ejen Ali: The Movie 2 (now showing in cinemas). Driving the creative force behind both films are proud alumni from our university, representing the Faculty of Cinematic Arts (FCA) and the Faculty of Creative Multimedia (FCM).

In Keluang Man, a classic Malaysian superhero is brought to life by a passionate and talented group of FCA alumni, who took the lead in crafting the film’s vision and execution:

• Writers team: Zulaika Zakaria, Luqman Sheikh Ghazali (Cycle 1), Natasha Azlan (Cycle 3), Zaim Zakki (Cycle 6), Shemad Jufri (Cycle 7)
• Directors team: Khairi Asyraff (Cycle 8), Muqri Azlan (Cycle 18)
• Producers: Zulaika, Luqman, Natasha, Zaim, and Shemad
• Project Coordinators team: Nabil Lukman (Cycle 2)

Meanwhile, Ejen Ali: The Movie 2, the action-packed animated sequel currently drawing enthusiastic crowds across the country, proudly features MMU alumni from both FCA and FCM:

• Associate Producer: Amirr Shahlen (FCA, Cycle 6)
• Editor: Reuben Singham (FCA, Cycle 3)
• Director: Usamah Zaid Yasin (FCM alumnus), co-founder of WAU Animation and the visionary behind the Ejen Ali brand

These outstanding alumni are not just participants — they are storytellers, innovators, and leaders pushing the boundaries of Malaysian cinema. Their work reflects the strong academic foundation, creative exploration, and collaborative spirit nurtured at MMU.

Let’s continue to celebrate Malaysian stories imagined, crafted and brought to life by our very own MMU alumni and show our support!
