JAKARTA - Astrid Tiar will make a comeback to the big screen through a horror film entitled Kuasa Ilang. The film, which is planned to be released in 2024, will be shooting in the near future.

The Batak-blooded actress said that the story shown in her new film has an inspirational message, so there is no reason for her to refuse when she gets an offer to play.

"There is a mission in that story that really has to know the children of today's generation. So it's not just entertaining, but there is also a story behind it that becomes an inspiration that can be used as an example," Astrid Tiar said at the International Design Studio, South Jakarta on Tuesday, May 30.

However, Astrid, who claims to be a coward, can't stop thinking about why she dares to play in horror films, especially the theme presented is the exorcise (extortion of demons with certain ceremonies) from the Catholic Church.

She didn't even tell her husband when she was first offered to join. The husband just found out Astrid played in a horror movie just before attending a press conference to welcome the filming process.

Furthermore, Astrid said that she also wanted to challenge herself as an actress. Having never played a horror film before, the 2000 Cover Girl winner felt the horror genre as a tough challenge in her acting career.

"I'm trying again to play in acting, it turns out that the toughest challenge is horror films. I'm afraid of horror films, so I challenge and dare to join," concluded Astrid Tiar.

Apart from Astrid Tiar, the film directed by Bobby Prasetya also stars Lukman Sardi and Jerome Kurnia.
