Director Fajar Bustomi is optimistic that the upcoming movie will entertain fans of the first film. "Hopefully the post-production process will be a smooth one, so we will have a good film that makes many people happy," he said.
Meanwhile Iqbaal said filming was fun, despite having to do it amid rain.
"It was quite interesting as [I] had to remind [myself] of when we shot the first film to build an emotional connection," said Iqbaal. (kes)
