ward-winning actress Prisia Nasution has to have her hair done in cornrows for her latest sequel film Comic 8: Casino Kings, a torturous exercise she says because of all the extra treatment needed to maintain it.
'I have to go back and forth to the hairstylist every three days and redo the braids every two weeks. That's the most bothersome thing about the shooting,' she said as reported by tribunnews.com on Thursday.
In the action-comedy movie, directed by Anggy Umbara, Prisia, who trained in pencak silat, Prisia plays an Interpol officer tasked with uncovering a gambling ring.
The 30-year-old Best Actress at the Indonesian Film Festival in 2011 said she couldn't complain for long because it was a part of her profession.
'But it was really uncomfortable. It's my first time wearing that hairstyle and my head was itchy all the time.'
The second part of the movie will be screened in March.
'The first sequel is more like a prelude to the action-packed Casino Kings Part 2. I can't wait to see that too.'
