KUALA LUMPUR: Decades after one of the most defining moments in Malaysian sports history took place at Stadium Negara, the national men’s badminton team’s 1992 Thomas Cup victory is set to hit the big screen.
On July 2, producer Victory Pictures officially launched the film, titled “Sentuhan Wira” (“Touch of a Hero”), in conjunction with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that will see Malaysian badminton legends Rashid Sidek and Cheah Soon Kit appointed as production advisers.
The pair, who had been part of the national squad at the time, are also directly involved in the development of the script to ensure factual accuracy and convey the true spirit of the team’s journey to victory.
Rashid said the film won’t simply be about badminton; rather, it will reflect the struggle, belief, and national pride of Malaysians.
He described the film’s production as an important platform through which the experiences of former players can be shared with the younger generation. It will also highlight the spirit of unity within the squad at the time.
“We want the current generation to feel what we experienced as players and to witness the strong patriotic spirit among us. Even though we came from different races, we still succeeded as one, for one purpose,” he said after the MoU signing witnessed by Finas chairman Hans Isaac.
“Yes, it has been been a long time – we’ve gone 33 years without winning the Thomas Cup. So, with the release of this film, we hope it will boost the spirit of our current players to become more motivated.
“What’s more important is the spirit of patriotism – not individual glory, but the collective drive to bring honour to the nation,” Rashid added.
Meanwhile, “Sentuhan Wira” director Lenny Ooi said he will use an action-film approach in his direction style to emphasise realism in the training and competition scenes.
“Our actors must also be able to play badminton for real, otherwise, their movements will look too rigid,” he noted, adding that filming is expected to start at the end of the year, with a release slated for early 2027.
