Beyond its impressive cinematography, Gold’s strength lies in its impactful action scenes, both emotionally and in terms of the message conveyed. Each scene is well executed by renowned local actors such as Farid Kamil as Rashid Sidek, Jack Tan who shone in Taiwan with the film Abang Adik as Cheah Liek Hou, Wan Raja as Misbun Sidek, Fabian Loo as Guan Ting, 1990s popular singer Freddie Ng, and many more talented actors.
Executive Producer of Gold and Head of Astro Shaw, Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, said, “Following the success of the action franchise Polis Evo, Astro Shaw proudly presents an emotional action sports film inspired by an individual who has made the nation proud on the global stage. The story behind Cheah Liek Hou’s journey to achieve global recognition is very compelling to share. Thank you to our prominent director, Adrian Teh for bringing this idea to us. We hope Gold can touch the hearts of the audience and be seen as a film for all Malaysians.”
