"I wanted to give an accurate portrayal of Anwar because he isn't just a political figure, but a leader who's globally recognised. That is why I spent lots of time watching videos of the man himself and listening to his speeches," the actor shared. "He took off his glasses and showed me that there was still a scar on his brow bone," Farid said, adding that this fuelled his will to bring justice to Anwar's character.Although Farid is confirmed to lead the new Anwar biopic, the 41-year-old star revealed that he was actually the fifth choice to play the PH leader.Evolusi KL Drift

"I'm so grateful I was chosen as Anwar. Otherwise, this filmmaker would've picked an actor from another country," Farid explained.
