JAKARTA - Lulu Tobing told how director Fajar Nugros suddenly offered to be Roy's mother in the film Ballad Si Roy. Lulu said that while relaxing at Fajar's house suddenly called.

"Then he said he wanted to help or not? He invited me to play a role in Balada Si Roy as Roy's mother. But I got a call from Nugros five days before filming," Lulu said in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 11.

On the other hand, Fajar also responded that the reason he suddenly invited Lulu Tobing to join the film was because the player who was originally appointed as Roy's mother had COVID-19.

"That's because the actor who previously played the character got COVID-19. So I called Mba Lulu. I said that instead of not doing anything better to shoot," said Fajar.

However, Lulu is said to have protested because she suddenly had to join the filming of Balada Si Roy without any preparation, especially the reading process. Finally, Fajar extended his preparation time to three weeks.

"Indeed, I really enjoy the reading process. Because I can know my character, I can know the character of other players, it could be familiar," Lulu said as quoted by ANTARA.

Lulu feels this preparation is very important, because she feels she has lost time getting to know her co-star, as a result of the role offered suddenly.

When he visited the filming location, Lulu immediately approached Abizar Al Ghifari, who played Roy in the film. He was also grateful, Abizar was a warm child, making it easier for him to build closeness.

"When I arrived in Banten, all I was after was just going to chat with Abi. Because I played a lot of roles with Abi as Abi's mother," explained Lulu.

"Fortunately this child is very warm. Very charismatic. So it really helps me not to be stiff even though there is no reading process," he concluded.
