During the filming of Herwin Novianto's film, Adipati mostly sat on a wheelchair with his head tilted to the right. The gesture refers to and he developed it from physicist Stephen Hawking.

"To bring Baskara's character to life, I watched films about Stephen Hawking because that's the clearest example and similar to what my character is experiencing. So I took it towards him," said Adipati when met at Planet Hollywood, Gatot Subroto area, South Jakarta, on Thursday (22/6/2023).

Just sitting on a wheelchair throughout the filming of WHY DO YOU LOVE ME apparently did not make it too difficult for Adipati Dolken. Because he didn't have to think about blocking before the shooting process was done.

"During the shoot, it's easy because my blocking is only one. Sometimes when we're shooting we have to memorize blocking, walk left, stop, but as Baskara I don't think about the technical stuff, just more about playing the emotions," said Adipati.

2. Same Vision with Onad and Jefri Nichol

Furthermore, Adipati Dolken admitted that he did not have difficulty acting with Onadio Leonardo and Jefri Nichol. Because they have known each other and worked together before.

"I already knew Onad and Nichol, so we were quite familiar. We just had to adjust our vision on how to blend with our character's conditions, we support each other," said Adipati.
