On June 6, 2025, KRU Group celebrated its 33rd anniversary, marking over three decades of extraordinary success in Malaysia’s entertainment industry.
Starting as a sibling music group that introduced local pop and hip-hop beats, KRU has now transformed into a creative empire spanning music, film, technology, and an edutainment theme park.
KRU Group’s Evolution
Under KRU Group, KRU Studios has opened a new chapter in the local film industry.
Among their iconic works are Cicak-Man (2006), Malaysia’s first superhero film using nearly 40% CGI special effects, Magika (2010), a fantasy musical film that won multiple awards, and Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa (2011), an epic film that broke into the international market with screenings in over 70 countries.
GenKRU: A History-Making Concert
In May 2025, KRU rocked Axiata Arena with their four-night GenKRU concert, setting a record in the Malaysia Book of Records.
