Astro Shaw says no decision yet on Naim Daniel as Tiong Man
19 June - Despite speculations about Naim Daniel playing Tiong Man, the sidekick of the '90s animated superhero Keluang Man, Astro Shaw has denied ever making any decision regarding the casting. Head of Astro Shaw and "Keluang Man" executive producer, Raja Jastina Raja Arshad recently responded to questions about Naim's involvement, saying that they will only make an announcement when there are actual confirmations. "So Naim Daniel is not Tiong Man. Not at this moment," she said. Raja Jastina also stated that the "Keluang Man" creative team is still working on the storyline and characters that will appear in the sequel to the film. "What you see in the movie Keluang Man is not necessarily what you think. Anything can happen. You have to wait and see what happens next," she explained. Speculations about Naim playing the said sidekick sparked after he appeared in several scenes in the movie. It was further fuelled by the actor sharing a photo of him with the Keluang Man logo, which he captioned with a bird and wind emoji. Many took it as him confirming that he will be playing Tiong Man, whose name is the Malay word for the mynah bird. The issue as to whether Naim will play the role in the next instalment or not sparked after the singer-actor was charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl. He has pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court recently. (Photo Source: Cinema Online, Naim Daniel IG)
