Ekin Cheng to star in badminton movie

28 Mar – Aside from his new movie, "Horseplay", Hong Kong actor Ekin Cheng will be playing the role of a badminton player in his upcoming sports movie, "Full Smash".

On CC reported that the actor recently attended the pre-production press meeting at the Hong Kong Entertainment Expo alongside co-stars, Wilfred Lau, Edmond Leung, Andrew Lam and Siu Yam Yam to talk about the new movie.

The production also invited former national badminton representative Bao Chunlai as a special guest due to the subject matter of the movie.

When asked why he decided to star in a sports movie, particularly one that involves badminton, Ekin stated, "It's because I still have the energy to do so!"

"There is no physical problem when filming the movie. But the director would not say "Cut!" while the camera is still rolling and the coach was sweating so much during this time. I was also quite frightened!" said Ekin.

Playing a man in his 20s in the movie, Ekin stars as a man who is determined to become the best badminton player and play alongside big names in the game.
