Depe practices ritual for film’s success

J

AKARTA: Despite having proven that she can both sing and act, actress Dewi Persik claims that her talent is a small factor in achieving success.

Prior to the premiere of her upcoming movie, Mr. Bean Kesurupan Depe, Dewi claimed she went through an intensive three-day ritual to ensure the film’s success. According to Dewi, she didn’t sleep for three nights throughout the ritual.

The 26-year-old said the ritual required her to continually utter a Javanese chant that has been passed down in her family for generations.

“In the ritual, [I] prostrated to the Creator. The best time to pray and ask for something from Him is usually after 12 a.m.,” she said as quoted by kapanlagi.com.

Dewi added, “[The ritual] helps me communicate with God.”
