JAKARTA - Actress Callista Arum shows her totality in exploring the role for the latest horror film, Mama: Message from Hell.
In order to bring his character to life that is closely related to the world of tarot, he does not only regular research, but also learns directly from a real fortune teller.
This preparation process began during a workshop, where the entire team was met with a tarot expert to gain an authentic understanding.
"Indeed, when we worked at the workshop from the start, we met a real fortune teller, so from the start we had known the first meeting and told what the tarot was like and so on, then there was a meeting session with the fortune teller," said Callista Arum in the South Jakarta area, Wednesday, August 13.
To further explore the character, who is told that he can read the tarot because he sees his mother, Callista even gets a special session personally with the fortune teller.
"I have a special one on one session with the fortune teller, my mother in this film is a tarot reader and I've been seeing my mom since I was little, and I'm learning too," said Callista Arum.
He learns basic things in the practice of reading tarot cards so that his acting looks convincing in front of the camera.

Apart from the need for roles, the opportunity to meet the original fortune teller was also used by Callista and other players to satisfy their curiosity.

Mama: Message from Hell tells the story of Putri, played by young actor Callista Arum, who has just lost her mother, Mama Sari (Nova Eliza). Putri also released her departure by burning a photo of the late Mama Sari and praying for her to be calm there.
However, after her mother died, Putri's life became uneasy. He got a WhatsApp message from Mama's dead number. Putri felt that the sender of the message always monitored her movements.
After the death of her mother, Putri continued her footsteps as a tarot reader with the demands of a message from Mama. However, the figure behind the message sender is still mysterious. Is that a message from Mama to guide Putri? Or is that a message from hell that will harm her?
