JAKARTA - Kangen Band will return to acting through the film Mencari Yolanda. This film is an expansion of one of their hit songs titled Yolanda.
They admitted that they had acted in a television film (ftv) that told their lives. After a pause of several decades, they finally agreed to act and give their song for this film.
"I used to play a movie about our lives. Some of it. If for the big screen at that time, the film wanted to be moved to the cinema but hit the time in 2012 we disbanded," said Andika Mahesa in South Jakarta on Saturday, April 25.
"Because of self-maturity, we joined again, we can get (film) offers again, we continue to "Iseng yuk" eh can't be joking, this has to be shot. Not afraid of anything," he said.
Furthermore, Andika admitted that many people often offered film or acting projects to Kangen Band. However, they did not accept it because of the many concert schedules.
"Many people invited me to play movies but limited time and off-air schedules. Now, I'm making a new album oh good, promoting a new album. We are thinking about the album's material so we focus on recording 1 song, the arrangement is less. Offers come in, aji while still active and still able to think," said Andika Mahesa.
Another member of Kangen Band, Dodhy, also explained that they not only acted but also shared their opinions with the director and writer so that the film Mencari Yolanda could match their journey.
"We share the story from the director, it's not related to the audience of today. We have ideas, we give it. So we combine the director with us so we are happy," said Dodhy.
"Hopefully with the film Mencari Yolanda, we will be more compact and more attractive and can solve the scenario well," added Izzy, a member of the Kangen Band.
The film Mencari Yolanda will be produced by Radepa Studio together with AdGlow with the director and screenwriter who have not been announced, as well as other actors. Production will begin this year with a planned release next year in Indonesian cinemas.
