JAKARTA: Prisia Nasution says that she'€™s picky in choosing acting gigs so she can give her all on-screen.

'€œI have my own criteria,'€ the 30-year-old actress said, as quoted by tribunnews.com in Jakarta. '€œIf I don'€™t, I would'€™ve acted in so many films'€

As an example, the former pencak silat martial artist and catwalk model cited her award-winning debut role in Sang Penari (The Dancer), which was adapted from Ahmad Tohari'€™s classic novel Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk (The Dancer from Paruk Village), about the brutal 1965 Communist purge and its aftermath.

'€œThe movie was very seriously prepared and planned,'€ Prisia, who won the Citra for Best Actress for Sang Penari, said.
