Abidzar Al-Ghifari Says He Will Make This a Learning Experience After His Acting is Criticized in A Business Proposal

Kapanlagi.com - Actor Abidzar Al-Ghifari responded calmly to various criticisms he received after starring in the film 'A Business Proposal' directed by Rako Prijanto. This film is an adaptation of the popular South Korean drama of the same name.

One reason for the criticism is Abidzar's decision not to watch the original version. He did not watch the South Korean version of 'A Business Proposal' because he wanted to create the main character in his own style.

On one occasion, Abidzar expressed that he is not discouraged despite facing criticism from various parties. He actually sees it as part of the learning process in the acting world.

1. Turn Criticism into Learning for Him

"This will be a learning experience for me. What happened is a good thing for the future. I am not closing myself off from any criticism and input. I will accept it," said Abidzar when met at XXI Grand Indonesia, Thamrin, Central Jakarta, Friday (31/1/2025) night.

Abidzar also feels lucky to receive full support from his colleagues involved in the production of this film. According to him, that support serves as a motivation in facing various public responses.

"It's not just my friends, but the Falcon Pictures team, all the crew are behind me, beside me, even at the forefront for me," said Abidzar.

"Even before we started the screening, there were Ariel Tatum, Mrs. Erica, Uncle Indro, and everyone asking, 'Are you okay?' and I'm fine, it's okay," he added.

Despite receiving various comments, Abidzar emphasized that the criticism does not make him feel stressed. Instead, he is open to accepting criticism as part of his personal development process.

"If I feel down, I don't, because I accept it. If I didn't accept it, maybe I would feel down. But because I accept it, I don't feel down. The proof is I'm here now," he said.

In the film 'A Business Proposal', Abidzar plays a character named Utama. He acts alongside Ariel Tatum, who plays Sari, a food analyst at Bowo Foods.

The film tells the story of Sari, who is forced to disguise herself as her friend, Yasmin (played by Caitlin Halderman), to attend a blind date. Unexpectedly, the man she is set up with is Utama, the heir to the company where Sari works.

Utama is known as a disciplined and cold figure. He feels pressured because his grandfather, Eyang Bowo (played by Slamet Rahardjo), keeps urging him to get married soon. The situation becomes even more complicated when Utama asks Sari to pretend to be his girlfriend to avoid his grandfather's pressure.
