20 Feb – "Mahathir: The Journey" was forced to cancel its plan to film in Hiroshima, Japan, following the current worldwide spread of COVID-19. According to producer Yusof Kelana, the director, cast and production crew were all prepared to do their filming in Hiroshima late last month, but it had to be cancelled and the location had to be changed to Langkawi. "We cancelled several scenes that involve the Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, along with his wife, as well as special officer Sufi Yusof travelling to Hiroshima following his resignation in 2003. "Based on the script, there were four to five important scenes that were set to be filmed in Hiroshima. However, we didn't want to take any risks since some of the crew members hail from China," said Yusof, as reported by BH Online.
