JAKARTA - Prilly Latuconsina is back in the big screen film through the remake film Gita Cinta from high school. Prilly Latuconsina and lihat Abraham will play the iconic youth couple in 1979, Galih and Ratna.

Prilly said it was not easy to play the character Ratna. The 26-year-old actress must present a different expression and way of speaking from her habit, where the film used the background in the early 1980s. On the other hand, she must present something different from what Yessi Gusman has shown as the role of Ratna in the original version of the film.

Not only that, the Ambon-blooded girl was also afraid to consider the opinion of the audience who had seen the character Ratna played by Yessi Gusman.

"It's really difficult, because maybe I've made this a big challenge, I've put this in my head, oh my, this is a very big challenge, so Ratna, what if the mothers who watched it who used to be fans with Gita Cinta from high school in the past didn't like it, it was like that first," said Prilly Latuconsina when met at Grand Indonesia, Central Jakarta on Monday, February 6, 2023.

"Ratna is really calm. It can't be, I'm a cool girl, I'm not calm, right. Then also the accent in the 80s, if you accidentally use your accent today," he continued.

However, Prilly felt relieved when she learned about Yessi Gusman's response when she saw her acting. He was told by director Monty Tiwa that Yessi Gusman cried seeing Ratna's character in the remake version of Gita Cinta from high school.

He said why Ratna made me cry didn't stop. There are differences from the past and now, where now there is a resistance scene. It turned out that it was a scene that was considered a golden scene audience and they cried very much. His mother also likes everything, the drama, everyone really likes it," said Prilly.

After seeing the results of his acting, Prilly was more confident and responded casually to comments from netizens who had questioned her decision to play the character Ratna.

From the start, I agreed to Gita Cinta from high school, I already knew that there were a lot of people who compensated, many were like why I was like that. Moreover, I am 10 years older than Ratna. At that time, there was also a lot of people on social media saying 'Prilly? High school? Prilly seems to have taken a role according to age," said Prilly.

"A lot of netizens are like that, 'why is it prilly again? It's not fresh ah the cast'. But it's a comment that I already know, like I know for sure I will get this comment, but yes, just watch it later, the results will be like what," he concluded.
