Yen with winners of the Flourishing Prosperity x Sakra Colouring Contest. The Hong Kong action star was promoting his new movie ‘Sakra’ at Quayside Mall in the township of twentyfive.7.
HONG Kong action star Donnie Yen delighted his legion of fans at a meet-and-greet session to promote his action-packed movie Sakra at Quayside Mall, twentyfive.7 in Selangor.
There was also a special fans screening at MBO Cinemas on Jan 14, where 1,200 moviegoers had the opportunity to attend the movie preview ahead of its nationwide premiere on Jan 16.
Ten lucky draw winners from Quayside Mall’s Spend & Win campaign also had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to “lou sang” (tossing yee sang) with Yen ahead of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
The campaign allowed shoppers who spent a minimum of RM88 to redeem two free tickets to the early special fans screening and enter the lucky draw.
Ensuring the event remained wholesome for the whole family, a “Flourishing Prosperity x Sakra Colouring Contest” for children aged five to 12 years was also incorporated, where Yen personally handed out prizes to the winners in a special ceremony.
Directed by, co-produced by and starring Yen, Sakra is adapted from renowned Chinese novelist Louis Cha’s best-selling wuxia classic, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. The movie also stars Chen Yuqi, Cya Liu, Kara Wai, Wu Yue and Cheung Siu Fai, with special guest appearances by Lui Leung Wai and Tsui Siu Ming.
Yen, a martial artist who is best known for the Ip Man film series, has also won acclaim in several Hollywood films, such as Rogue One and John Wick Chapter Four.
Gamuda Land general manager (commercial real estates) Alex Kua said: “We are so honoured that Quayside Mall was a part of Donnie Yen’s Malaysian tour for Sakra.
“Since its opening in December 2020, Quayside Mall quickly became a new landmark in Kota Kemuning, with all our other placemaking facilities.”
