Preparations are underway to screen the children's fictional film "Roboman: The Movie" at Olympus Cinema, timed to coincide with the school mid-term break in the last week of September.
The movie is set to premiere at Olympus on the 26th of this month, and a one-minute teaser has been released to the public.
It's been several years since a Dhivehi children's film has been shown at Olympus.
Mohamed Munthasir (Munko), the owner of Okays Inc. and producer of "Roboman: The Movie," mentioned that the film is designed to be enjoyable for the entire family, with a particular appeal for children. He noted that the cast includes many children.
“This is a must-see film for families. Expect plenty of laughter, fun, and joy. This film has the largest cast in Dhivehi cinema to date,” he said.
He added that the movie will be screened during afternoon and evening hours at Olympus.
Munko also shared that over 100 children auditioned for the two lead roles, and 60 of them will appear in various parts of the film.
Amelia Nasrullah Shakeeb and Misha Ismail Niyaz were selected from the auditions for the lead roles. Alongside these two young actors, Roboman, a popular figure in public entertainment, will also feature in the film.
The movie is directed by Ibrahim Visam (Kandi), a former actor who has transitioned into a talented director, with the screenplay written by Mahdi Ahmed.
Roboman is a character who has been appearing at children’s events and various entertainment activities for the past eight years, wearing a distinctive gray mask to hide his identity.
Last year, the government awarded Roboman the President's Special Prize for high achievers, recognizing talented, artistic, and hardworking youth for their outstanding contributions to creative and innovative efforts in national development.
