Volkswagen Malaysia and Centro Pictures has signed a partnership agreement that sees Volkswagen becoming an official sponsor of Centro Pictures’ upcoming street racing movie called ‘KL Wangan’. The agreement was signed during a ceremony held at Volkswagen Gombak last week.
‘KL Wangan’, which roughly translates to KL midnight race, promises to be packed with high speed car chases and thrills. The film is directed by talented actor, Pekin Ibrahim and will showcase some of Volkswagen’s most iconic models – the high-performance Golf R, the Golf GTI, the much-loved Beetle, and the soon-to-be launched all-new Passat.
“Volkswagen Malaysia is pleased and thrilled to be a part of this upcoming movie and we see this is as a great platform for us to build our brand presence in the Malaysian market. The local film industry has seen tremendous growth in the recent years and through ‘KL Wangan’, we are confident that it will only continue to strengthen. We thank Pekin and the team at Centro Pictures for this opportunity and we wish them all the best for the movie,” said Isabela Pascu, Marketing Director of Volkswagen Malaysia.
Pekin, himself is a Volkswagen owner and enthusiast, will also star in the movie, alongside actors Faizal Hussein, Jasmine Suraya, Kazuto, Emily Lin and Farouk. Production began on 21st August, with filming scheduled to take place around big cities and iconic landmarks in Malaysia.
