Jirayut finally officially spread his wings to the big screen as the main actor in the latest comedy horror film titled Cek Khodam by the production house Dee Company.
However, who would have thought that this man from Thailand initially felt insecure when he first received an offer from the production house.
"The first time I was a little hesitant. I was hesitant to take it because what, I wasn't confident either. Because I was afraid of disappointing people like that," said Jirayut when met in Central Jakarta, Thursday, June 25.
Jirayut admitted that he felt burdened because his flight time in the film world was still relatively new.
"Moreover, I was trusted by the Dee Company, the Cek Khodam was immediately the main role, right? Wow, I immediately thought how? Can I do this?" he continued.
In fact, Jirayut admitted that he was unable to read the synopsis sent to him because it was too long.
"When the story was sent, I couldn't read it because it was so long. So I said, can I call to explain? What am I and what is the story like?" said Jirayut.
His decision to take on the role of Sakti was only solidified after his mother gave him a touching pep talk.
"Suddenly my mom came, my mom immediately said this, 'Come on, take Nak'. 'How about it, Ma?' I immediately thought," he recalled.
Apparently, the mother had a simple desire to see her child perform in the cinema.
"Mama said this, 'Son, just take it because mama wants to see mama's child's face on the big screen'. My mom is really a horror lover," explained Jirayut.
It was his mother's message that finally made Jirayut brave enough to take on the big challenge.
"Mama said 'let mama see you on the big screen like that, so that usually mama sees people now see you'. From there it immediately encouraged the kayak, okay, I have to be able to pass this challenge," he said.
Even though he agreed, Jirayut admitted that he still experienced tremendous tension, especially when undergoing the reading process before filming began.
"When I was nervous, I was reading. Oh, that's it, it's like I'm pale all day. Why? You know, the acting coach is like Jirayut is wrong in his eyes," he joked.
He felt he had to work many times harder than other more experienced players.
"I feel like I have to work harder than others. Because I'm the only one, I have to quickly get into the Saktinya character," said the singer and presenter.
Now, after seeing the results of the trailer, Jirayut is satisfied and did not expect the results to look cool.
"I can't move on yet with the official trailer. So it's like, wow, it turns out it's that cool. Even though I'm the one who plays it, I feel like wow," concluded Jirayut proudly.
In the film which will be released on July 16, Jirayut will act with Benidictus Siregar and Saputra Kori.
