Aedy Ashraf as Beja/Reza
Mohammad Addy Ashraf bin Rosmadi born in 20 Sep 1993, better known by his stage name Aedy Ashraf, is a Malaysian actor. Aedy has been in the entertainment industry since the age of 10.
Aedy then went on to act in numerous other box office film, such as Cinta Kolesterol and Jutawan Fakir. He has also been in numerous telemovies and dramas in Malaysia.
In 2015, Aedy signed a management contract with A Klasse, a company led by Asyraf Khalid.
In Kahar: Kapla High Council (2024), Aedy Ashraf plays the role of Beja, a character who also goes by the name Reza. Beja is one of the central figures in the film, with a complex personality and a layered backstory that ties deeply into the themes of power, loyalty, and inner conflict.
As part of the Kapla High Council, Beja is not just a typical school student — he is involved in the school’s underground hierarchy, which operates with its own rules, leadership struggles, and codes of conduct. His dual identity as Reza adds an extra layer of mystery and depth, hinting at hidden motivations or possibly a shift in character arc throughout the film.
Beja’s role is crucial to the film’s tension and narrative development, often acting as a foil or challenger to Kahar (played by Amir Ahnaf), the film’s protagonist. His actions, decisions, and loyalty are often tested, making him one of the more dynamic and intriguing characters in the story.
Review
This film is clearly made with fans of the original series in mind. Some viewers have pointed out the unrealistic fight choreography, questioning how schoolboys could possess such advanced martial arts skills. But at the end of the day, it’s fiction and meant to be enjoyed as such.
The film strikes a nice balance, offering moments that will make you laugh and others that might even bring a tear to your eye. Overall, it’s an enjoyable and well-made film, showcasing quality writing and direction from the Malaysian film industry.
