inger Sheryl Sheinafia will be the main female lead in Raditya Dika'€™s new comedy movie Koala Kumal (Shabby Koala), kapanlagi.com reported over the weekend.

'€œThe movie will be my debut as a lead actor. I will also sing the soundtrack theme,'€ said the 19-year-old, popular for her single '€œKutunggu Kau Putus'€ (Until You Break Up).

It is the second time she has been involved in one of Raditya'€™s film projects. Previously, she appeared in the comedian-cum-director'€™s film Marmut Merah Jambu (Pink Guinea Pig) in 2014.

'€œI will act opposite Raditya Dika as his best friend. It'€™s difficult to be funny, but during readings Raditya gave me the freedom to create the character.'€

The film, which will also star Acha Septriasa and Nino Fernandez, will start shooting in April and is set for release mid-year
