AKARTA: Comic and actor Kemal Palevi finally fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a superhero in the upcoming action flick Jagoan Instan (Instant Hero).

'€œIndonesia did not have superhero movies for some time. Thus, when director Fajar Bustomi asked me to join the project, I said yes right away,'€ he told kompas.com.  

'€œBesides, I always wanted to be a superhero when I was little. I used to watch Spiderman and Batman movies while thinking, '€˜When can I uphold justice like them?'€™'€

In the film, Kemal plays the role of Bumi, an ordinary boy who briefly possesses superpowers every time he receives an injection of special serum.  

Premiering on Feb. 18, Jagoan Instan also features young actor Kevin Julio, seasoned action star Dede Yusuf, Meriam Bellina and Nikita Mirzani.
