Demian Aditya Shocked by Gary Iskak's Passing, Just Finished Filming a Horror Movie Together Before the Accident

Kapanlagi.com - The news of the passing of senior actor Gary Iskak has left a deep sorrow for his fellow colleagues, including illusionist Demian Aditya. The husband of Sara Wijayanto admitted that he was very shocked to hear the news of his friend's death due to a traffic accident. A sense of disbelief still envelops his mind, remembering that they had just spent time together on a job.

Demian revealed that his last interaction with Gary was very intense in the past few days. They were involved in a filming project that took up a lot of time and energy. There were no signs or premonitions that indicated their meeting on the filming set would be their last moment together.

"Just two days ago, we were still shooting together. We were working on a vertical horror film project. So he was one of the main actors too. So just recently, we just finished on Thursday night, then Friday was a rest day, suddenly this morning we were told Gary had an accident," he said when met at the funeral home in Cirendeu, South Tangerang, Saturday (28/11/2025).

This sad news hit not only Demian but also his wife, Sara Wijayanto. Sara, who is known to have a close relationship with the deceased through their mystery content, didn't even get the chance to see her friend for the last time. This was because Sara was on her way out of town for a job that she couldn't leave behind.

"The most shocking thing is Sara (Sara Wijayanto), because she was on her way to Semarang, right, she already had an event in Semarang. Then just now she called, crying. It's sad not to be able to meet, not to be able to see him for the last time, you know. So it was just shocking, still very shocked earlier," Demian described his wife's sadness.

2. Demian Becomes a Witness to the Religious Side of the Late

During the five consecutive days of filming, Demian also witnessed positive changes in Gary's religious side. The 52-year-old actor was considered very devout in his prayers amidst a busy filming schedule that went late into the night. The atmosphere on set was also very enjoyable thanks to the presence of Richa Novisha's husband.

"I felt it. Because it was indeed intense for these 5 days. So the prayers were really strong. And indeed, while on set, everyone felt that he was very happy. If you ask everyone in the production team, no one knows, I mean, who really knows how long someone has left, right? But he was just happy, everyone was happy. No one expected it either. That's why everyone was very shocked. Earlier when I informed the film production group, I told them they were all surprised. It still feels like they can't believe it," concluded Demian.

As additional information, the last project involving Gary Iskak is a horror film in a vertical format. This film is a collaboration with the DMS team, featuring Gary as one of the main cast members. It is planned that this actor's last work will be shown as a special presentation next December.
