KUALA LUMPUR: Encouraged by the success and overwhelming response to Ejen Ali The Movie, its co-producers Primeworks Studios and Wau Animation are already planning for its sequel.
In a news report today, Primeworks Studios and Media Prima Television Network CEO, Datuk Khairul Anwar Salleh, confirmed this by saying that discussions on the project had already taken place, despite the situation now being a little challenging for the local entertainment industry.
"Looking at the situation now, I admit that it'll take some time for this film to be completed. Producing an animation work is very costly and timely. But we hope that by the time it wraps up, the Covid-19 pandemic would already be under control with the availability of its vaccine," he said.
Khairul also said from their initial discussions that the producers had agreed to expand on favourite characters such as the titular young agent and Mamak Maju.
"We'll also further develop Ejen Ali and the world of Cyberaya to provide a deeper and more interesting perspective in the sequel.
"One thing for sure is that we'll keep it action packed with lots of comedic scenes and plot twists, which have become synonymous with the Ejen Ali brand," he said.
