Iwa K Experienced Panic Attack While Shooting 'KISAH TANAH JAWA: POCONG GUNDUL' in Liang Kubur, Pale Face and Body Feels Pulled

Kapanlagi.com - Iwa K stars in a horror film titled KISAH TANAH JAWA: POCONG GUNDUL. In this film directed by Awi Suryadi, the rapper plays the antagonist character named Walisdi in the form of a pocong.

In one scene, Iwa is placed in a deep grave. Before the scene was executed, it turns out that the bald-headed man experienced a panic attack.

"When he was in the grave, he had a panic attack. His face turned pale, and he asked to be taken out because he felt someone pulling him from below. So we lifted him up, and we waited for about an hour (for him to calm down)," said Awi Suryadi when met at Epicentrum XXI, Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (13/9/2023).

When placed back in the grave, the panic attack struck Iwa K once again. Feeling uneasy because the shooting was delayed, Iwa apologized.

"Just when I thought I was okay to go down again. After lying down for a while, his face turned pale. He apologized. Then the rest of the scene went smoothly because he seemed to hold it in," said Awi Suryadi.

Awi Suryadi requested the casting director to invite Iwa K to participate. Although initially doubtful about Iwa's willingness, it turns out that he was willing.

"I've been a fan of Iwa K for a long time. But I didn't know he was willing to act until I saw him in the movie SAYAP-SAYAP PATAH. Wow, turns out his acting is also good, and he's suitable as an antagonist. So I told MD, the casting person, who was initially unsure, 'Are you sure you choose Iwa?' and I said, 'Yes, I see that he's really good.' Finally, he was called, and the schedule was set," said Awi Suryadi.
