For two months, actor Pekin Ibrahim travelled to Gemencheh, Negri Sembilan, almost every day to get to know the man he’d be portraying in the movie Gemencheh Boys – known to everyone as Cikgu Azman.

The actor met up with the teacher Azman Abdul Aziz at Sekolah Kebangsaan (Felda) Bukit Rokan Utara, as well as went around the town of Gemencheh to spend time with the locals.
