Actor and model Rio Dewanto says he's busy learning Sundanese for a part in the upcoming film Love & Faith.
The 27-year-old is slated to play Kwee Tjie Hoei, the founder of OCBC NISP bank, in the film, which is a period piece set in Bandung, West Java, in the 1950s.
'My character is not really a Sundanese, so the accent is not really Sundanese,' Rio said, as quoted by kapanlagi.com. 'Luckily there were crew members that can speak Sundanese, so I learn from them.'
The actor will share the screen with Laura Basuki, who plays his wife in the film, which is based on a book written by politician Dahlan Iskan.
