JAKARTA - Having been threatened with a fine of IDR 4.2 billion for being proven to have failed at Falcon Pictures, Jefri Nichol has finally returned to work with starring in the film My Sassy Girl. This film is a remake of the blockbuster film from South Korea, starring Jun Ji Hyun.

Jefri Nichol, who was part of the film My Sassy Girl, said he was happy. "The first time I was offered and read the script, I felt it was very suitable. Since the original film is very popular in Korea, I hope this remake version can also be successful in Indonesia," he said during a virtual press conference, Friday, November 5.

Collaborating again with Falcon Pictures also made him enthusiastic. For reading only, this film held a workshop for one month before shooting started on November 8.

"We all know how good Falcon is when it comes to making films. I'm very happy because the production is not half-assed. The acting can be maximized, we'll see how the shooting goes. I'm sure it will be fun," he said.

Director Fajar Bustomi enthusiastically collaborated with Jefri Nichol in the film My Sassy Girl. "Alhamdulillah, Falcon Pictures has been trusted again to adapt the film My Sassy Girl, which was very successful in Korea. Hopefully all the processes can go smoothly. Please pray for me," said Fajar.

"I have known Jefri Nichol for a long time, but haven't had the chance to work together. Several times I have talked about wanting to shoot together. As soon as Jefri's name was mentioned at the casting, I saw that the role here was good for Jefri. I'm sure Jefri has a challenge so that Jefri turns into a boy who is afraid of girls," he explained.
