"This film is very special for me, being able to work with legendary actors from Malaysia, Ahmad Tamimi Siregar and the other is Indonesian film racing star, Muzzaki," said Arief.

Muzakki himself said that Yahya's character was very strong. Meanwhile, the way he built a close relationship with Ahmad Tarmimi, he admitted that he had not been building chemistry with the Malaysian actor for too long.

"Assisted by Om Arief as well. Two months before filming, we were invited to go for a walk to Bukittinggi on the Vespa, look at the house," said Muzakki.

Meanwhile, it is different from Randy Pangalila who had to partner with Adinda Thomas as Muchtar and Nurma. They admitted that they had never met before the production of this film.

"Really foreigners meet. But everything is going well, Adinda is also fast, the chemistry is easy for us to build," said Rendy.

Adinda Thomas himself was interested because of his synopsis which shared a strong family relationship and he was challenged and had to speak good and correct Indonesian.

"This is also the first time I have the opportunity to use a headscarf in a film," he said.
