No joke: Wai stars as an action director in Kungfu Taboo.
After making over a hundred movies, action genre veteran Kara Wai Ying Hung says she's elated to be taking on a comedic part in the Malaysian comedy Kungfu Taboo for the Chinese New Year season.
“This time I get to bring in the laughs while others do the fighting. I have complete confidence in my comedic abilities but filmmakers keep casting me in action movies. Fortunately I worked with the filmmaker in The Wedding Diary 1 and 2, so he knows how funny I can be. Although it has taken me almost 20 years, I finally got the kind of funny role that I really want to play,” she said.
