JAKARTA - Marthino Lio was involved in Timo Tjahjanto's latest film titled The Big 4. He is believed to be an antagonist named Antonio Sandoval who became the big enemy of Big 4 members.

"Antonio is not really a big boss but he is in the step of becoming a big boss," said Marthino Lio at the press conference The Big 4 today, Thursday, December 15 in South Jakarta.

Lio admitted that he wanted to work with Timo Tjahjanto for a long time. Therefore, he did not reject the challenges given by the director.

"I really want to feel it, just now comedy is how to meet his expectations (Timo Tjahjanto) to be funny. I'm always open to challenges," he said.

Antonio's character is told to like salsa so he is willing to dance Salsa in auditions for The Big 4.

"I want this character to have a habit of drinking salt and I remember that Marthino's casting video doesn't have music," recalls Timo Tjahjanto.

"Once he got his role, he made his own knife for me. Incidentally he is also skilled at that. He could be a crew," said Timo again.

Apart from Marthino Lio, Kristo Immanuel also experienced a unique experience. His first acting debut, Kristo felt the casting process through social media.

"I was offered via DM. 'To casting, please' until finally casting," said Kristo Immanuel.

"When I was asked if I could accent timor or not, I thought why I was only asked now. Even after casting, there was no news. I was really nervous," he explained.

When Timo Tjahjanto released Pelor's sketch, Kristo Immanuel began hoping he got the role. This was further clarified after Timo uploaded a snippet of Kristo's photo to his social media.

"I'm nervous. I want to ask but the impression is really great. Until Mr. Timo uploaded a snippet of my photo," said Kristo Immanuel.

Kristo Immanuel plays Pelor, the youngest child in The Big 4 who is the main target of Antonio Sandoval. The adventures of the two can be seen through the film The Big 4 which airs on Netflix starting today, Thursday, December 15.
