JAKARTA - Risty Tagor returns to acting through his latest film, Home Sweet Loan. This film directed by Sabrina Rochelle turned out to be his first film after a 15-year hiatus.

Risty plays Tanish, Kaluna's office friend and good friend (Yunita Siregar). He became a friend who listened to Kaluna's complaints and struggles to fight for her dream home.

"When it comes to Tanish, I want to thank you. Tanish is me, but also Kaluna in this story is me. So the character really represents many hearts," said Risty Tagor at the Home Sweet Loan press conference on Wednesday, September 4.

The 35-year-old actress admitted that God answered her prayer for acting. She herself is committed to taking care of her children until they go to school, but she doesn't know when that opportunity will come.

God grants a prayer. The last time I shot was Ulfa (in a woman in a Soraban circle) and went through the process of having children and there were times when I couldn't stay. Indeed, I was committed, they went to school, then I wanted to, "the story.

"Honestly, I was nervous when the screen test was delivered by management. Because 15 years stopped, it felt like starting from scratch again and the film was different from soap operas. Both are responsibilities but different and play with extraordinary friends," he said.

"When the screen test was shocked, it was inputted by the song Gelora Asmara and the reunion with Derby. Actually, all the players already know," he said again.

Risty Tagor even thought he couldn't play in films anymore. Even if so, he thought he was wearing a hijab, he would have many religious projects.

"15 years of stopping acting makes it difficult for me to think about playing religious films because now I'm wearing a headscarf but God listens to our prayers," he said.

Without thinking, Risty Tagor took a film offer adapted from a novel made by Almira Bastari of the same name.

The Home Sweet Loan film will premiere in Indonesian cinemas starting September 26, 2024.
