Film 'ARISAN!' Breaks at the Right Time, Turns Out Tora Sudiro Had to Repeat the Kissing Scene with Surya Saputra 11 Times

Kapanlagi.com - Tora Sudiro is known to the public as an actor thanks to his role in the film ARISAN! released in 2003. In this film, which also stars Cut Mini, Aida Nurmala, and Surya Saputra, Tora Sudiro played the role of a metrosexual man.

One thing that will always be remembered by the audience and Tora Sudiro himself from the film ARISAN! is the kissing scene with Surya Saputra. The 47-year-old man admitted that he had to do multiple takes for this scene.

"Because only that much footage was taken, while I had to kiss 11 times, only that much was shown," said Tora Sudiro, as quoted from YouTube Gofar Hilman.

1. Fear and Panic

This scene left a deep impression on Tora Sudiro because it was done for real without any camera tricks as requested by the director. Since he had never kissed another man before, Tora himself admitted to being afraid and panicking, so this scene had to be repeated many times.

"During the scene, Surya had a beard. What should I do? Anyway, I kissed him, closed my eyes, and that's it. Take, smooch, like that. 'Cut! Tor, don't do that,' said Teh Nia. 'Why, Teh?' 'That's not enough.' 'But it's my first time, I'm also scared,' I said. 'Isn't he scared too? He must be scared too.' So, we did it again," recalled Mieke Amalia's husband.

2. Imagine a Woman

To reduce his fear of kissing someone of the same gender, Tora tried to imagine a woman while kissing. Because his mind was chaotic at that time, no woman came to his mind.

"Finally, because Surya was in front of me, at that time he was still with Dewi Sandra, I imagined kissing Dewi Sandra," said Tora Sudiro.

"Because there was at least a trace of Surya in my mind. I couldn't deceive myself with someone else," he concluded.
