JAKARTA - Chicco Jerikho returns to acting in his latest film, War Kota. Through this film, Chicco shows his efforts to transform as a teacher of Isa, someone who fights for independence for himself and those around him.
To VOI, the actor who was born on July 3, 1984 explained that the role of Guru Isa was a special role during his career as an actor. Not only his struggle, but photographing a person who has many difficulties in life and is inversely proportional to him is not an easy thing, even for the actor who has a career of more than 25 years.

"In my opinion, this Isa character is very special and a character that is very difficult for me to live with because it is very far from Chicco. Isa is a very introverted person and I am a very extroverted person," said Chicco Jerikho, starting his story one afternoon.
"Isa is a person who doesn't tell stories. Whatever he has, so the person who is really intuitional in his head is already at war. There were so many thoughts at that time because Isa was a fighter is not a hero. Isa is one of those who side with the organization and republic and how he maintains in a situation and saves his family," he explained.

There are at least five workshops conducted by the 40-year-old actor for his role, ranging from acting, fighting, physical, intimacy, dialect, and music. Everything is related to the character of Isa who is a fighter and a violin player.
"So the actor has an opportunity that people don't have, can feel being a doctor, b being a doctor, soldiers can't be a teacher and that can't be done by many people, only actors can get that opportunity. And I'm happy, every role I play can be a reflection and make me grateful, "said Chicco Jerikho.
When asked about the favorite scene in the City War, Chicco quickly replied, "The scene where Isa and Hazil (played by Jerome Kurnia) they first returned to their residence of Isa and met Fatimah (Ariel Tatum) and introduced that his character Isa was the husband of Fatimah and Hazil was his student. Longtake one shot from the front until Isa's house so if I'm wrong, it's back."

"When I got the role of Isa, one example, a human who is far from my life and interesting to get to know him," he continued.

Speaking of acting, Chicco Jerikho grew up in soap operas before fully focusing on the big screen world. Acting debut in the soap operas Bulan and Bintang, he felt the soap opera world provided ample provisions to act on a larger scale.
"I'm not urban. I can learn in soap operas how to read scripts with limited time, in films I can explore deeper because the time is longer," said Putri Marino's husband.
He marked his reunion with the soap opera world through the soap opera Ikrar Cinta Suci which aired earlier this year. This soap opera became the first title he played after 12 years.
"I've been offered several soap operas again, but I happened to be playing several films yesterday and coincidentally the timing was right and the one who invited me to play soap operas happened to be the director who had worked with me from my previous soap opera. So why don't I try again? The reunion project turned out to be when I entered the soap opera, the industry was very different from 12 years ago from working hours and others," he said.

"The approach is how to read the script and explore it because when we play soap operas, how do we deliver that flavor in a very short time. There is no workshop. In the morning it was shooting, some even aired at night, so how do we express it sincerely," said Chicco Jerikho.
Chicco Jerikho is still open to any role at the age of 40. According to him, he is always open to getting to know the new life and environment.
"If you can say the roles achieved are because there are so many things that we can form from characters. The links vary," said Chicco Jerikho closing the conversation that day.
