Guess what?: Dinda takes on acting challenge

W

hile most religious-themed films in Indonesia are drama-heavy, model and actress Dinda Kanyadewi took on the challenge of getting involved in Ifa Ifansyah'€™s new film, Pesantren Impian (Dream Islamic Boarding School).

To be released in March next year, the thriller is an adaption of a novel of the same name authored by Asma Nadia.

In the film, Dinda assumed the role of a celebrity'€™s personal assistant named Inong.

'€œThere is a scene where I have to read the Koran. It'€™s the most difficult scene because I'€™m not that good. But in the story the character just started learning to read the Koran, so I didn'€™t have to worry about making mistakes,'€ she was quoted by kapanlagi.com on Thursday.

Another memorable moment for Dinda while shooting on location in Yogyakarta was when she had to film a fight scene on board a moving bus. '€œOn both sides of the road were ravines,'€ she said.

Dinda, 28, who is also a film director, said she enjoyed working with award-winner Ifa. '€œHe rarely gets upset on set,'€ she said.
