25 Aug – The lead actor for "Mamak Cupcake", Shaheizy Sam shared how he perfected the Mamak dialect and his experience working on his new film produced by Grand Brilliance.
Sam also said that apart from Azad, Veerasingam who played as his father in the film along with Acappan, who is his father's helper and 'spy' in the film, also assisted Sam throughout his dialect learning. "I would also like to thank my dad (Veerasingam) and Uncle Acappan, I really love both of your dialects. Maybe I didn't get the dialect a hundred percent right, but I really did try my best."
The "Adnan Sempit: Sawadikap" actor also confessed that the reason he worked so hard on the dialect is because his outer appearance is not convincing enough to pass as Mamak.
