PETALING JAYA, Oct 7 — The creative efforts of local internet personality Muhammad Sofian Abdullah paid off when his idol Will Smith reposted his video on Instagram.

The Kelantanese, known for making clips with quirky 3D effects, recently got to meet the Hollywood actor in Budapest for the premiere of Gemini Man.

Taking inspiration from the film, Muhammad Sofian’s video features him crossing paths with Smith before making a grand escape from a group of threatening clones.

“It wasn’t even my dream to collaborate with the biggest superstar in the world, but when I get the chance, I will definitely do my best!
