Maya Karin's ex is now a movie star

Steven David Shorthose and Maya Karin in happier moments

By Noorsila Abd Majid

A twist of fate and Steven David Shorthose is now following the footsteps of his famous ex-wife, actress Maya Karin.

The British school teacher has landed a plum role in highly praised Malaysian director, Datin Paduka Shuhaimi Baba's political drama, Tanda Putera.

"I needed a Caucasian actor for my movie and Steven came for the casting call," confirms Shumi (as Shuhaimi is fondly known in the movie industry). "So I hired him."

Based on the true story of second Malaysian prime minister, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein (played by Rusdi Ramli) and his best friend, Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman (Zizan Nin), who eventually became his deputy prime minister, Tanda Putera is set against a volatile Malaysia in the late 60s and eary 70s.

Shorthose plays Dr.Macpherson, Tun Razak's personal doctor.

This marks his second collaboration with Shumi, who first cast Shorthose in a cameo role in her previous historical epic, 1957 Hati Malaya.

"I shan't comment on how good Steven is as an actor," Shumi says with a laugh. "You've got to watch him in the movie."

Strangely enough, Maya was also offered a role in Tanda Putera, but she declined. "She had an urgent family matter to attend to," Shumi offers. "I don't think she turned me down because of him (Shorthose). They're both professional about it."

When pressed for comments, Maya tells The Daily Chilli: "I've got no comment on my ex-hubby. I've got nothing to do with his life anymore."
