Becoming a Husband of a Two-Line Fighter, This is How Darius Sinathrya Studies to Deepen His Role

Kapanlagi.com - Playing the role of Fajrie, a husband who supports his wife in the struggle to have a child in the film LYORA: THE WAITING FOR A BELOVED CHILD, is a unique challenge for Darius Sinathrya. To deepen his character, he chose a very personal research method.

Darius stated that he did not specifically survey strangers, but rather dug into the experiences of people in his close circle.

"I'm not personal, yeah, not personal in talking to those who have experienced it, but I'm trying to dig from the people around me," said Darius when met after a press conference at Plaza Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Friday (11/7/2025).

He is fortunate to have such close and authentic sources of information. One of them is the film's director herself, Pritagita Arianegara, who openly shares her personal experiences.

"Coincidentally, there are close family members who are still struggling to this day. Then Ms. Prita herself, as the director, she even openly shares that she also has experiences," she explained.

2. Building Character

According to Donna Agnesia's husband, information from close people and a very strong script feel more than enough to build his character.

"And that feels more than enough. Because the script is indeed well-developed and has provided a very clear picture of what is happening," he stated.

3. Don't Research Too Deeply

Furthermore, Darius explained his reason for not conducting too deep of research from the outside. He wants to maintain the authenticity of his character's journey, Fajrie, which also begins from a place of ignorance.

"The character's journey is from not knowing. From not knowing until finally knowing. Until finally, oh this is how it is, oh that is how it is, that's his journey," he explained.

4. Avoid Knowing Too Much

He is concerned that if he, as an actor, knows too much, it will actually make it more difficult for him to act as someone who is facing that situation for the first time.

"So if I equip myself with too much knowledge, I will actually have to erase a lot of things while playing," concluded Darius Sinathrya.
