JAKARTA - Deva Mahenra became the main character in Anggy Umbara's latest film, Setetes Embun Cinta Niyala. This MD Pictures film is the latest adaptation of Habiburrahman El Shirazy's religious novel.
In this film, Deva plays Faiq, a man who has been friends with Niyala (played by Beby Tsabina) since childhood.
"I really want to (join in the film) because I am a generation that grows with how successful the Signs of Love used to be," said Deva Mahenra at a press conference in South Jakarta on Wednesday, March 19.
"I wanted to be there. Who wouldn't want to be included in MD and Kang Abik (Habiburrahman El Shirazy) production," he said.
In addition, he is also interested in collaborating with Anggy Umbara after getting to know him for a long time. They just met in this film.

This is my first time working with Anggy Umbara. I've known him for a long time, but I don't match either in films or series. Well, that's why I forced it," explained Deva.
Habiburrahman El Shirazy as the writer feels that a universal story can develop when adapted. Therefore, even though the novel was released 20 years ago, it did not reduce the essence of the story.
"Indeed, this story is very typical of Indonesia. The value presented is very universal," he said.
Setetes Embun Cinta Niyala tells the story of Niyala (Beby Tsabina), a woman who manages to achieve her dream as a doctor. However, family problems make him have to accept a match while he has had feelings for Faiq (Deva Mahenra) for a long time.
The film Setetes Embun Cinta Niyala will be released on Netflix on March 31.
