The extraordinary journey of Malaysia’s legendary rally racer, Karamjit Singh, is set to be brought to the big screen in a new film titled Terbang. Announced on April 8, 2026, the movie is a collaboration between Astro Shaw and Woohoo Pictures, directed by the acclaimed Chiu Keng Guan, known for blockbusters like The Journey and Ola Bola. The film aims to revive national pride by showcasing the highs and lows of the "Flying Sikh," who dominated the rallying world in the 1980s and 90s.

Director Chiu Keng Guan clarified that while the film is not a strict biopic, it is heavily inspired by real events, with Karamjit Singh himself noting that roughly 60% of the story is adapted from his actual experiences. The production seeks to capture the grit and perseverance required to become a world class athlete behind the wheel. Fans of Malaysian cinema can expect a patriotic narrative similar in tone to Ola Bola, celebrating a defining chapter in the nation's sporting history.

The film's announcement has already sparked nostalgia among motorsport enthusiasts who remember Malaysia's rallying heyday. By focusing on Karamjit's relentless spirit, the makers hope to inspire a new generation of Malaysians to pursue their passions against all odds. Terbang is expected to be a major highlight of the local cinematic calendar, though an official release date has yet to be finalized.
