JAKARTA - After the success of Sherina's Adventure 2, actress and musician Sherina Munaf is now back on the big screen through the film adaptation of the book Philosophy of the Core. Sherina revealed the reason why she was so selective until she finally chose this project.
For Sherina, the main magnet of this project is not just the film script, but the essence of the original book which has had a huge impact on many people.
"The philosophy of the Core is a book that touches many people, not only touches but helps their lives," said Sherina Munaf in South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 25.
Apart from the power of the message in his book, the factor of Henry Manampiring as the author is also a strong reason. Sherina admitted that she had an intellectual closeness with Henry in looking at various problems of life.
"Mas Henry, and I also recognize Henry's thinking, we've been chatting a lot from before the Philosophy of the Core until there was a Philosophy of the Core film, through many changes and ways of dealing with problems in life. We also always share about it, checking on each other like that," he said.
It's that belief that makes him optimistic that the film version will bring similar benefits.
"So I believe in Henry's work that was finally filmed, even though the format is different, it will definitely help a lot of people out there," he added.
Until now, Sherina is known as a figure who rarely appears in films because her focus is divided into various fields of art. She even defines herself as a "palugada" (whatever you want, I'm here).
"I don't want to say it in the world of film, that's it, because what I do in this industry is like that. Palugada, what is needed, let's do it like that," explained Sherina laughing.
He also told that he had stepped away from the Indonesian film industry for a while to explore himself abroad.
"For a while, the focus was on music, and in the end, what was it... to Japan as well to explore other things because I really love art in various forms. And acting is one of them," said Sherina.
Interestingly, despite having a big name, Sherina still showed a humble attitude when standing side by side with other actor colleagues in this film. He admitted that he still felt like a beginner compared to his colleagues' portfolios.
"In fact, I feel very grateful that there are still people who believe in me because in my portfolio, it's not as much as my friends who you can ask this, whose experience makes them like they are now," he said.
He closed by praising the support from his co-stars who were very open during the filming process.
"So when building a scene together, it is very helpful with their openness and experience from their previous works. I actually feel that I am still very vanilla," he concluded.
The film Filosofi Teras itself will only start shooting. In addition to Sherina Munaf, this film by the MD Entertainment production house will also be starring Zee Asadel, Ge Pamungkas, Lydia Kandou to Dinda Kanya Dewi.
