To play a hotel staff in the romantic comedy Pasal Kau, 32-year-old Hairul Azreen was told to put on some weight by director Adrian Teh as his character is a bit on the chubby side.

“For my last movie with Adrian, which was Wira, he made me go through a strict regime to become a lean guy. For this one, he asked me to become a big fella!” said the former stuntman turned actor during an interview.
