On Saturday, June 3, when the production team and players arrived at the shooting location in Yogyakarta, Masayu said she would learn to be a sinden with the original sindent from the area.Previously, according to Masayu, she had met the original sinden through video calls to discuss the description of the terms and rituals that must be taken. Other things that are more detailed, he added, will be discussed and studied directly on set."Because we just started filming, God willing, on June 4, so tomorrow I will have a full day (training). It really learns sinden and dances. And later it will be told that there are rituals that must be done. And what is certain is that when taking (filming) there is security (guarded by the original sinden)," said Masayu.So far, Masayu has prepared mentally and physically to undergo filming in Yogyakarta, especially preparing mentally to relieve fear of sindents who are often synonymous with mystical things.Not only is he required to be able to dance, he is also required to get used to interacting with snakes. In a number of scenes, Handini's character will be displayed as a figure close to a snake."(Actually) it might be more like amusement, yes, (the snake's handle). It's annoying because of the skin. It's just, yes, it's back again. That's his name I want totality, how do I fight my own fear," he said.Film "Paku Tanah Jawa" mengangkat myth yang berkembang di sekitar Gunung Tidar, Magelang, Jawa Tengah. Sutradara Bambang Drias mengatakan pihaknya juga berusaha untuk mengembangkan cerita dengan melibatkan motif peristiwa yang terjadi di antara karakter.Apart from Masayu, this film also features actress Wanda Hamidah who plays the mother of Dayu, a wife of a prominent character in the village. Dayu's husband was tempted to approach the sinden. As a result of this, Wanda said, her character changed to antagonist from the former protagonist."Not only jealousy, because of course the sinden is much younger and much more beautiful than Dayu's mother, but also because there is a struggle for wealth there. Mrs. Dayu is worried that her husband will be drained by his wealth by the sinden," he said."And that is Dayu's main concern so that she becomes revenge and hates it very much," said Wanda."Paku Tanah Jawa" presents other cast stars including Gisellma Firmansyah, Badriyah Afif, Ismi Melinda, Wafda Saifan, and so on. Not only that, this film also presents Malaysian artists including Muhammad Hairi Amin or known as the MK K-Clique stage name.
