Dad Afdlin Shauki stars in Papadom

By AZHARIAH KAMIN

ACTOR-director-scriptwriter Afdlin Shauki wanted to make the movie Papadom so he could tell his story and people could watch it. The drama revolves around a father’s love for his child and the sacrifices he makes in the name of love. With Afdlin at the helm, needless to say, there are lots of laughs along the way.

Produced by Tayangan Unggul, Papadom finds Afdlin taking on the role of the dad who obssesses so much over his daughter that he decides to leave his successful business to become a gardener at the university where she studies, just so he can keep an eye on her!

“It is a love story and a family-oriented comedy which I think we haven’t tackled here in a while,” offers Afdlin in a recent interview.

If you are a parent, this is the kind of film that will prompt you to wonder just how far you would go to protect your child. And if you are a son or a daughter then you will realise just how far your parents are willing to go to protect you simply because they love you.
