Panchacharam P Nalliah says high quality movies such as Mat Kilau and Polis Evo 3 have done well at the box office despite stiff competition from foreign films.
Malaysian cinema-goers are starved of quality local films, says the head of the Malaysian film producers association.
Panchacharam, better known as Pansha, said the local film industry’s struggles cannot be attributed solely to the large number of foreign movies being screened at Malaysian cinemas. “As a producer, you have to do your research and development to see what the audience wants and give them quality movies,” Pansha told FMT.
His comments come in the wake of a call by Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid last week that Malaysia should follow South Korea’s approach of limiting the number of foreign films screened in cinemas to boost the local film industry.
