JAKARTA - The word "pesugihan" is quite popular among Indonesians, it is even considered natural to want to get rich in an instant.

Pesugihan is a way to get wealth instantly without having to work hard like working people in general. In the process, the pesugihan is a form of co-operative agreement between humans as the perpetrator of the pesugihan with supernatural beings / jinn / stealth.

Based on the many stories about pesugihan, the production house of WD Entertainment worked on a film entitled Musyrik (Cursed Prayer).

"The story raises the reality of life that in this modern era there are still many who believe in the mystical world, especially pesugihan. So far, many of our people have come to the grave of the high priest with the aim of hoping for wealth," said Musyrik film producer Rofiq Ashari in an official statement released. Between, Thursday.

This film involves several players such as Wulan Guritno, Sahila Hisyam, Bishma Mulia, Mathias Muchus, Muammar Emka, Inggrid Wijanarko, Wedananda and stand-up comedy players.

Sahila Hisyam admits that she is very interested in being involved in the film Musyrik. According to him, this is an unforgettable experience.

"This film's story is more about Indonesia, so the story is more excited. With a strong Indonesian culture and very strong intentions," said Sahila.

In Musyrik, Sahila changes her appearance to make it look different. He is told as a village boy who comes from an area in Java.

"The story does not describe the story from which region, only about the story in Java. This type of film is distinguished from the type of horror, the horror can be said to be occult, previously played horror, but the horror is ordinary horror, not about presents, this is a traditional horror story," Sahila said.

Not long ago there was a rife about the discovery of ngepet pigs in the Depok area, West Java, which some people believe is the practice of pesugihan. Sahila herself is actually not too sure about the existence of ngepet pigs, but incidents like this are often discussed by the public.

"Believe or not really believe, but it is still very strong in our society," said Sahila.
