JAKARTA - The presence of Arifin Putra feels like it fills the big screen throughout 2024. A total of four films decorate the cinema with various characters that the 37-year-old actor is still actively playing.
She closed 2024 with her role in the film Panggonan Wingit 2: Miss K where she plays Rayyan Putra, a detective who is tasked with finding the truth behind a particular case. In this film, Arifin Putra collaborates with Cinta Laura Kiehl and Callista Arum.
From the beginning, I wanted to work with Hitmaker and Rocky Soraya too. If you meet Mr. Rocky, the person is very, very confident, so if you talk to him like 'Ih, you have to work with him', it will be fun. That's one," Arifin Putra told VOI some time ago.
"Second, this next story has a universe, so it's like fun. The third has always been friends with Cinta but has never played a film, so I think this is the opportunity," he explained.
The character Arifin Putra in Panggonan Wingit is different from the first film played by Christian Sugiono and Luna Maya. Even so, this sequel managed to reap 1.1 million viewers during its broadcast until the beginning of this year.
So, Panggonan Wingit means a haunted or scary place, so basically there is a common thread, namely a haunted place. We explore the figures of the first (film) in the second hotel in the apartment. There are first and second elements that are different, so the difference is that there is an element of water, this figure comes from water and many problems from water and grapples with water and a lot of excitement, "the story.
Rarely acting in horror genre films, the man born on May 1 explains the various challenges he faces. Starting from acting and practicing action scenes, to ensuring that he remains productive in managing the business he has.
"There are quite a lot of action scenes in this film. 5-10 minutes of story exposition and introducing characters but once they enter their respective characters, there are problems. Action in this film forgot how many doors I had to break down," he recalled.
"For fighting, there is a scene that is quite complicated and long and coincidentally there is fighting with Mas Indra Brasco and it's fun. At that time, Mas Indra was with me, so I kicked him in the story and the director said 'I asked for permission to push it, it's safe because there are tiles and it's gone in balance, so the wrong position fell. If the back is safe, there is a cardboard but he fell to the bottom where the iron box was hit in the back. Imagine it hurts tremendously. It's not broken but the muscles are stiff and the inflammatory must evacuate but it's safe. I'm not the one who experienced it but it's safe and how many days later we will shoot it again, "said Putra again.
Arifin Putra said that it was also easier for him to compete with Cinta Laura Kiehl, who was actually an old friend. Both act as lovers in their films and have been friends since 10 years ago, so no chemistry needs to be formed.

"It seems like 10 years of knowing each other so that they know each other and there are Jrman descendants, so 2-2 of them are outspoken, maybe people think he's outspoken, but I like it because I know that love is impossible. If you like it, if you don't like it, don't," he recalls playing roles.
"Love a professional person, the person is on time and a good example so everyone takes part on time. There are many activities outside the shoot so I want to be fast and I'm also happy because the shooting is fast," he said, believing there was no conflict.
Panggonan Wingit 2: Miss K is one of four films owned by Arifin Putra which will air in 2024, while she is also busy filming films and traveling to take care of various business and investment lines, something that has been her passion for a long time.
"Now we are shooting films to air in 2025. So now, if yesterday's years were usually more selective, choose a little bit of it but there are usually a lot of other people, so just try it. You have to challenge yourself but now look at your body and choose to scream too," said Arifin Putra with a laugh.
In the midst of being busy acting, Arifin Putra said that his time was used to be productive at work. He admits that managing time is a top priority that balances how he does business as well as acting.
"So one has acting, then the second is business. I happen to be two businesses, one Umkm startup investment company, another Habibie Innovators company and we become consultants for programs for overseas and embassies from friendly countries. The focus is cooperation between Indonesia and Germany," he said.
"For investment, the average focus is on Indonesia, but there is also in Singapore, the Philippines is the same in New Zealand. For how to arrange it, a very, very disciplined time management and basically there is no free time, so every day there must be work and have to do something, "explained Arifin Putra regarding the management of the time.
Among a series of activities, Arifin Putra also still has a dream to develop a career in entertainment is not just a player but can write and produce. So far, he has been a producer for several short films and feature films.
"I didn't have time to be a producer, so... hahaha! Yesterday I had a production house and I had a producer for the web series, for digital advertisements like that, but in the end I had to stop from there I resigned because yes, there was quite a lot of time being sucked in there," he said.
"Right now, there is no ambition to be a producer again, now for acting, I usually see from the offers that come in, there is nothing and from there it is usually fun to filter. Because if you hear there is an exciting project, I try to approach the producer, the writer continues to be the director with the hope that they will know, who knows, let's go together," said Arifin Putra.
Unlike when asked about acting, Arifin Putra only replied, "The roles that you want are just talking about, but you don't do anything, you won't come from heaven either. The safest thing is that ether becomes a screenwriter or becomes a producer and looks for a team to finally develop a story," he said closing the conversation that afternoon.
