KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — Director Datuk Yusof Haslam has denied any knowledge with regards to viral rumours that his director son Syamsul Yusof and actress wife Ira Kazar have allegedly divorced.

“I honestly don’t know anything about it,” said the renowned 69-year-old actor, director and film producer when asked to comment by Utusan Malaysia.

“He (Syamsul) hasn’t come home in a long time. I’d rather not say anything.”

He added that as a father, he only prays for what’s best for his children.
