Kapanlagi.com - The film project worked on by Irwansyah and Tubagus Chaeri Wardana alias Wawan under the banner of PT Andhika Cipta Pratama has reached 78 percent completion. Only post-production work remains, and the film should have been released in the market.
However, all plans fell apart after Wawan was arrested by the police for corruption. The remaining funds that Wawan had allocated for the film production were seized by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), preventing Irwansyah from continuing his work.
Nevertheless, Irwansyah does not seek compensation from Wawan because it was the KPK that seized the money. 'I can't ask the state for it,' he said when met at the Corruption Court on Thursday, May 28.

Irwansyah also did not rule out the possibility of repeating the production so that his work would not be in vain. "Hehe, I was asked before, 'Can we make something out of this so that there will be results later?'. But I was scared because this is KPK. I'm afraid of making mistakes," he explained.
Now he always seeks advice from his lawyer before doing anything related to the company he established with Wawan. The company itself is no longer operational.
"Well, since the film was confiscated and there is this case, it has been stopped. Because the company's manager is Mr. Wawan and his team," he said.
2. Hundreds of Losses
Irwansyah not only experienced physical and mental losses due to this case. He also suffered financial losses because he has not received payment for his project.
"Other artists have already been paid, employees have been paid. But not me, hehe. At that time, how much was my payment, hundreds of times, hundreds of millions. Well, because I was both an actor and a producer, so the payment was doubled," explained Irwansyah.
3. No Connection with Jennifer Dunn
During the trial, Irwansyah admitted to being asked about his relationship with Jennifer Dunn, who is also a witness in this case. However, he claimed that they have no connection.
"I was asked but I answered that there is none. I was asked if this film is related to an artist named A B C D E, and I answered no. I was invited to collaborate with what I can do. I can produce, so I did. If it's about other things like karaoke, that's not my field," he said.
Irwansyah also hopes that there will be no more summons from the Court for him. "Back then, I was already summoned by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) twice in 2015. First, to give testimony, and second, to submit bank statements. Now it's the Court. Hopefully, this will be the last one, it's tiring," concluded Irwansyah.
