JAKARTA - The director of the film How Are You Really?, Hanny R. Saputra, had a special reason for choosing Jihane Almira and Jeff Smith to play Mirah and Rendra. Hanny said that he chose Jeff and Jihane because their personalities and images matched the characters very well in the film.

"This film is about tattoo artists. In my head who can imagine a bit violent, yes I go straight to Jeff. He was made a tattoo artist, he dared to express himself. For Jihane she is beautiful. Beautiful and goes along with her character who loves flowers. So they this is a very different character and I really like it," explained Hanny R. Saputra when met at Duren Tiga, Monday, July 12.

Meanwhile, Jihane, continued Hanny, has the charm of a woman who is elegant and calm. "If Jihane is of course because of her beauty. But behind that beauty there is a hidden problem. Jihane can hide calmly," he said.

How Are You Really? will air on KlikFilm starting July 13. This film reveals the forbidden story between the characters Jihane and Jeff. Mirah, played by Jihane, already has a husband, played by Kevin Julio.

In the midst of her domestic conflicts, Mirah will often meet Rendra (Jeff Smith), a tattoo artist who owns a shop opposite her flower shop. Mirah finds comfort with Rendra, and vice versa.

The production process of this film only runs for a short time, which is 6 days. The director admitted that although it was short, the process was so smooth because he had a star who was so capable of acting.

"We shoot for 6 days, preparation for 3 days. The problem is that we have to work fast. It helps because my players are really good, everyone has an obsession to play the best. As a director, it really helps me," said Hanny R. Saputra.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Jihane turned out to have a special way of building chemistry with each other in a short time. During the filming process they always tried to approach by chatting.

"We talk (build chemistry), we talk a lot. Food is also a unifying thing," said Jihane.

"We did talk from reading," continued Jeff Smith.
