Kiesha Alvaro Reveals Challenges of Acting in the Film 'TUMBAL PROYEK'

The talented young actor Kiesha Alvaro greets his fans again on the big screen through the latest horror film titled TUMBAL PROYEK. In this film produced by Dee Company, the son of musician Sigit Purnomo Syamsuddin Said or Pasha Ungu plays the lead role named Yuda. He must face the difficult situation of searching for his mysteriously missing father at a construction site.

Building the emotion of losing a parent is a challenge for Kiesha, who is now 22 years old. He admits that he had to engage in deep discussions with director Faisal Reza, also known as Jeropoint, to understand the portion of sadness and curiosity experienced by the character Yuda.

"To answer that question, it definitely goes back to Mr. Jero. I talked with him quite extensively from the beginning, even before I got the script, I immediately discussed with Mr. Jero about what he wanted from the character Yuda," said Kiesha Alvaro when met at Epicentrum, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Thursday (07/05/2026).

Kiesha explained that the script surgery or reading process greatly helped her dive into the message that the film wanted to convey. She worked hard to ensure that the audience could feel the turmoil of a child who could not believe that his father died just because of a regular work accident.

In addition to emotional depth, Kiesha also recounted the shooting experience that left the most lasting impression on her. There was one crucial scene that was shot when the entire crew and cast were already in a very tired physical condition due to the packed shooting schedule.

"The mass possession scene. Because I still remember that take was at the end of the schedule that day. So everyone was tired, already drained, and then it was placed in the last scene like that," said the man born in Bogor.

Kiesha even gave high appreciation to the makeup team that successfully created very scary prosthetic effects. As a fan of the gore genre, she admitted to still feeling chills when faced directly with that situation on set.

The incident on set left a mark and disturbed his peace of mind because it felt very real. However, he dedicated himself to delivering the best results for the horror film enthusiasts in the country who have been eagerly awaiting his work.

The background of this film is inspired by rumors of black magic practices in large infrastructure projects that often become a topic of conversation among the public. Kiesha hopes this film can reach a target of five million viewers once it officially premieres in theaters.
