ADRIAN TEH’S CHELOT SETS MALAYSIA BOOK OF RECORDS MARK FOR LONGEST SINGLE-TAKE ACTION SEQUENCE IN A FILM

Kuala Lumpur, 13 June 2026 — Malaysian filmmaker Adrian Teh has once again raised the bar for local action cinema with his upcoming film Chelot, which has already achieved a remarkable milestone ahead of its theatrical release. The highly anticipated action blockbuster has been officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for accomplishing the Longest Single-Take Action Sequence in a Movie, marking a historic achievement for the Malaysian film industry.

Known for directing major box office hits such as PASKAL: The Movie and MALBATT: Misi Bakara, Adrian Teh returns to the action genre with a production that promises to redefine audience expectations. The record-breaking sequence was filmed using a single camera and spans an impressive 1.9 kilometres, running continuously for 5 minutes and 19 seconds without any cuts. The achievement required extraordinary planning, technical expertise, and seamless coordination among cast and crew.

The ambitious sequence was supported by a massive production effort involving a 300-member crew, 150 days of preparation, and over 60 hours of rehearsals. In addition, 50 prop vehicles were utilised during filming, highlighting the scale and complexity of the undertaking. The successful execution of the scene showcases the growing capabilities and ambition of Malaysian filmmakers in producing world-class action spectacles.

Produced by ACT 2 Pictures, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), Astro Shaw, SunStrong Entertainment, and Marvelous Culture & Film, Chelot has already generated significant buzz following the release of its teaser poster featuring leading actors Beto Kusyairy and Shukri Yahya. The film’s unique title and mysterious premise have sparked widespread curiosity among moviegoers eager to discover what the story entails.

Speaking about his return to action filmmaking, Adrian Teh revealed that after directing MALBATT: Misi Bakara in 2022, he intentionally explored other genres and storytelling styles before deciding to return to large-scale action. According to the director, Chelot is not simply a continuation of his previous work but a bold attempt to deliver an entirely new cinematic experience for Malaysian audiences.

Adrian also emphasised that the Malaysia Book of Records achievement was the result of a collective effort from the entire production team. He credited the unwavering support of the Royal Malaysia Police and Kuala Lumpur City Hall, whose cooperation played a crucial role in bringing the challenging sequence to life.

As excitement continues to build, audiences are eagerly awaiting answers to the mystery surrounding Chelot. Those answers are set to be revealed when the film arrives in cinemas nationwide this August. With its groundbreaking action choreography, record-setting achievement, and star-studded cast, Chelot is poised to become one of the most talked-about Malaysian films of the year and establish a new benchmark for the country’s film industry.
