24 June – In 2007, Malaysian filmmaker Afdlin Shauki ("Buli") and Thailand director Thanapon Maliwan ("The Sanctuary") released an action-packed film entitled "Brave", starring Mike B also known as Pairote Boongerd ("Ong-Bak") and Afdlin Shauki himself. Plans are currently underway for the film to be renamed as "Budak Ada Berani" and to be dubbed in the Malay language for a Malaysian release soon.
The story surrounds a martial artist (Mike B) forced by a Thai mafia gang to steal bank information in exchange for his brother (Afdlin Shauki), who has been kidnapped by the gang. The cast include Supaksorn Chaimongkol, Pairote Boongerd and Sahaschai Chumru from Thailand and our very own local actors, Awie and Afdlin Shauki.
