JAKARTA Actor and musician Ariyo Wahab again shows his acting skills in horror-mistry genre films titled the Massacre of Dukun Santet. In this film, Ariyo plays the figure of Ustaz Bagas, one of the central characters closely related to religious and spiritual nuances in the story.
"I'm Ariyo Wahab playing Ustaz Bagas here. And here there are indeed several Ustaz, yes, about Islamic boarding school films, and the effort is that all of them have workshops. So, everything is based on our workshop and those approved by the director, finally we play what he wants," said Ariyo Wahab at the Gala Premier Film Massacre Dukun Santet, Monday, May 5.
Ariyo revealed that the role of a ustaz brings its own challenges, especially in terms of reading the holy verses of the Qur'an. He felt the need to study it seriously in order to provide correct depictions and respect religious values.
"The challenge is, if you read the verse of the Koran, that means, at least as a ustaz, you have to justify it, now that's what we learned. That means if there are parts that we get the verse, we really study it," he said.

Although not directly accompanied by Ustaz or religious guide during the production process, Ariyo said that all players study with each other in order to bring the role to its full potential.
"Yesterday there wasn't any (assistance from real Ustaz), only we learned it together," he said. The reason Ariyo accepted the offer to play in this film was not only because of the power of the script, but also because of various elements which he thought were very interesting.
"(Alasan mau bermain di film ini) Ya itu, banyak plot twistnya satu, terus khusus, terus banyak masalahnya. Jadi aksi nya ada, terus dramanya juga ada, air antaranya juga ada. Terus berjelasnya,munya juga ada," pungkas Ariyo Wahab.
Apart from Ariyo Wahab, the film Massacre Dukun Santet also features the acting of Aurora Ribero, Kevin Ardilova, Kanestia Yusuf, to Teuku Rifnu Wikana. This film will start showing in theaters on May 8.
