KOTA KINABALU: The Tamil Nadu-based company which produced the 2016 blockbuster movie Kabali starring superstar Rajini­kanth is now aiming to shoot its 50th film entirely in Sabah this year.

V. Creations, which shot the action-packed Kabali mostly in Malaysia, decided on Sabah after a three-day location scou­ting trip across the state, focusing on key spots such as Kinabalu Park, Kundasang, Sabah Tea Resort, and Kota Belud’s Polumpong-Melangkap, which is a popular riverside camping and picnic spot.
