The film Ballad Si Roy (IDN Pictures)

JAKARTA - Abidzar Al Ghifari established his unique experience when he starred in the film Ballad Si Roy. In the film, Abidzar had to deal with a dog that became his pet.

The character Roy played by Abidzar has a pet dog named Joe. Roy really loves Joe. The reason is, the dog was given by his late father on his 7th birthday.

So close, Joe even often followed Roy in various activities, including when going to school and on vacation to the beach.

To play his role professionally, Abidzar is required to act naturally when communicating with Joe. In fact, he was required to hold and hug the German Shepherd dog.

Abidzar admitted to making a special request to the production team. "Every time there is a scene with Jo and my dog, I always ask for land," Abidzar Al Ghifari said in a press conference in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta on Tuesday, January 10.

As a Muslim, the young actor is required to clean himself from unclean after touching a dog. Because of the many scenes he did with Joe, Abidzar himself did not remember how many times he made the request to the production team.

"For how many times I may have forgotten. But what is certain is that I asked the talent coordinator team for each day is provided with land because it is quite important for me too. But if you count how many times, I don't know," he continued.

Claiming to have minimal acting experience, Abidzar felt much helped by the experienced production team and other actors. Not only with dogs, Abidzar also had to do a lot of difficult action scenes.

"Because usually when scene fighting is stuck, there must be someone who can't fight. Only here they both have basics. So when it comes to being a choreography, it's not stiff and easy," he concluded.
