Kapanlagi.com - Twelve years have passed since her last film was released in theaters, Leony is once again involved in a feature film project. This time, it is titled AMBAR directed by the young director Alif Fajrian, which falls into the horror drama genre.

Leony takes on an unusual role in this film, produced by MAF World Pictures and Bianglala Entertainment. She portrays a midwife named Rahayu.

"In this film, I play the role of Rahayu, a well-known midwife in a village. My knowledge about midwifery is limited to what you already know because I have never visited one and I don't have any acquaintances in that field," said Leony when met in the Gandaria area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (13/12/2023).

1. Interesting Role

Leony takes on the role of a midwife because it is something new for her. Especially after the 36-year-old woman found out that Sekar Ayu Asmara is in charge of writing the screenplay.

"(Why did I want to) because when else would I get to play a midwife, right? I've never played a role like this before, so I'm happy to have this opportunity. It didn't take long to say yes. When I received the script and found out that it was written by Ms. Sekar, it was a turning point for me," said Leony.

2. Not Much Research About the Profession

To bring the role of a midwife to life, Leony didn't do much research. She relied on what was written in the script and received assistance from the director and acting coach.

"The research was more about talking to the director and the acting coach. Because the profession is already clear in the script, the description of what it's like, what they do. It's clear that I'm helping women in labor," said Leony.

AMBAR will begin filming in January 2024 with an estimated release in August of the same year. The film also stars Dimas Anggara, Jenny Zhang, Inggrid Widjanarko, and Malaysian actress Jasmine Suraya.
