Biography
Mohd Syamsul Mohd Yusof is a Malaysian actor, director, writer, producer, rapper and singer. Born May 21, 1984, he is the son of acclaimed producer and director Yusof Haslam. At 25, Yusof became the youngest director to win the Malaysian Film Festival's Best Director award, a breakthrough that signaled his precocious talent behind the camera. He has since accumulated six Best Director awards from the Malaysian Film Festival and Anugerah Skrin, and earned Best Director recognition at the 57th Asia Pacific Film Festival in Cambodia for his horror-religious film Munafik. That project launched a franchise: in 2018, Munafik 2 set the record for Malaysia's highest-grossing film at the time. Four years later, Yusof's epic war film Mat Kilau surpassed it, claiming the new domestic box office crown. As a Gemini born in May, Yusof embodies the sign's adaptability across multiple creative disciplines—acting, directing, producing, writing, rapping, and singing. His life-path number 3 reflects creative expression and communication, natural fits for a filmmaker and musician building a diverse portfolio in Malaysian cinema.
