KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — Malaysian action film Chelot has hit RM19.5 million at the box office as of September 27,...
On September 27, Malaysian action film Chelot grossed RM19.5 million at the box office, with director Adrian Teh revealing that a sequel is now in development. Teasing the sequel's creation, Teh announced during a celebration marking the film's box-office performance at Bonda Kuala Lumpur in Kampung Baru on Monday: "Chelot 2 is a go."
Currently in the early stages, the focus is on scripting, without any shooting or release date set for the anticipated sequel. The RM19.5 million total places Chelot as the second-highest-grossing Malaysian film of 2026, behind Tarung: Unforgiven and Polong, both surpassing the RM10 million mark this year. Chelot received acclaim for its practical effects-driven action sequences, notably a single-take set piece recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records as the longest of its kind in Malaysian cinematic history.
Starring Beto Kusyairy, Shukri Yahaya, Shaheizy Sam, and others, the film follows Inspector Haqqim, who navigates a dangerous underworld while balancing his dual roles as a police officer and informant.
