danny
‘Danny’, is the sequel to Cinta Ramadan. After the passing of Natrah, Danny aims to forget the past by pursuing his Masters and setting up his own small company. Juggling between work and study, Danny finds new love in Sarah, an enterprising young woman poised to take over her father’s company, a fitting resemblance of Natrah’s character. Danny plans to sponsor his parents for umrah as his business is booming with a major contract secured courtesy of his school friend, Hosni. All looks well for Danny until his past catches up with him, the return of one of his many one-night stands, whose presence threatens his rekindled friendship with Hosni and his growing affection towards Sarah. Liana, Hosni’s pious wife, has a child, Aneesa, who is autistic. The introduction of Danny to Liana ignites Hosni’s ever lingering suspicions of a cheating wife, fuelled by an incident that happened 8 years ago, that resulted in the birth of Aneesa. Hosni fuelled with anger, goes to confront Danny but a freak accident changes the situation which makes Danny responsible for Aneesa. Danny has to choose between his new love, Sarah and Liana, for whom he has found new respect and a beautiful future with. Will the challenges of raising an autistic child get to Danny and make him choose the simpler decision in choosing Sarah?

Here’s ‘Danny’ in 30 minutes!

We used this scene as a casting audition scene as I had already regarded this heartbreaking scene as one of the most intense of the whole series. Taufiq Salleh and Elfaeza killed it expertly.

By this time, the usage of drone shots had become a norm. We were also obligated to deliver aerial shots in ‘Danny’ and I felt this scene would be the most appropriate. With Hosni’s dead body lying on the road, accompanied by his narration, the shot, directly from above his body, tracking away, signified his soul leaving... and moving on.

This is the first scene ever in my directing experience that made me cry on set. Uncle Ahmad Yusof‘s delivery in leaving a final video message for his wife and son was on point and touched my heart.
dear.God
Solat Istikharah is that special intimate moment when we desperately seek God’s guidance when faced with a tough decision in life. Having both Danny and Liana performing it at the same time from 2 different countries, was simply magical.

This was my favourite Sarah moment. As tough as one can be, once you are alone with just your feelings, everything will fall apart... awesome, honest delivery by Nadiah M Din.
