Atiqah Hasiholan says she has learned a lot from portraying a Batak woman in her latest film project.

In the movie, 3 Nafas Likas, the actress will portray Likas, the wife of Djamin Gintings, the famous military leader during the Independence War.

'€œFrom the life of Ibu Likas, I learned how not to be selfi sh and not to neglect the people we love,'€ she said as quoted by kompas.com.

Atiqah said that her character was a Batak Karo woman who had broken traditional roles to help those she cared for.

'€œWe sometimes become selfish about our own wishes that we tend to forget the dreams of those who have died,'€ said the wife of actor Rio Dewanto.

Shooting on 3 Nafas Likas, to be directed by Rako Prijanto, is slated to start on April 26. The film will feature Vino G. Bastian, Marissa Anita and Mario Irwinsyah.
