SHAREit union unveiled as Iflix launches KL Gangster spin-off DetailsRebecca Hawkes | 19 September 2019 iflix has released the latest movie in the KL Gangster Underworld universe to stream, download and, in a regional first, share for free, in collaboration with peer-to-peer sharing app SHAREit.Rise to Power, which tells the tale of how Madam Wong (Dynas Mokhtar) the only woman to lead a KL gang, rose to power through guile, grit and ruthlessness. The film provides the backstory on one of the favourite characters in the KL Gangster Underworld series, ahead of Season 2’s arrival next year.With SHAREit, iflix is also enabling viewers to download and share the movie for free, along with the whole KL Gangster Underworld series, over a Bluetooth connection, without need of mobile data.The cross platform sharing app boasts an active userbase of 120 million users in Southeast Asia (SEA) alone. Being shared among such a large user base for free will, iflix hopes, stop the content piracy that plagued the release of KL Gangster Underworld Season 1 when it premiered in August 2018.“We’re transforming the industry and we’re doing this across SEA, but we’re starting in our own backyard with Malaysia’s best ever franchise, giving it to everyone, for free, on any device, without even having to pay for mobile data. We’ve been working towards this for five years and this is the next evolution – we’re literally putting power in the hands of the people,” said Dinesh Ratnam, country manager, iflix Malaysia.Karam Malhotra, global VP, SHAREit, added: "It is a great testimony to our partnership that iflix and SHAREit will be premiering the blockbuster movie Rise To Power exclusively for SHAREit users to stream and download anytime and anywhere. We are excited that SHAREit users will be able to access this and many more of iflix's premium titles for free!"Rise to Power is made by Skop Productions and directed by Faisal Ishak and Syafiq Yusof, who helmed KL Gangster Underworld Season 1.Mark Francis, iflix global director of original programming, said: “KL Gangster Underworld Season 1 was one of our most successful series, and the demand from fans was overwhelming. It was the fans that made it clear that the relationship between the character of Madam Wong (Dynas Mokhtar) and Ayah Zan (Hasnul Rahmat) warranted a deeper dive.”
