Not an Authoritarian Figure Towards Children, Surya Saputra Struggles to Portray a Father Character in the Series 'THE ACES'

Kapanlagi.com - Surya Saputra is involved in a sports drama series titled THE ACES. He portrays a father character named Faisal Triasmana who is authoritarian towards his child.

Playing a father character like Faisal is not an easy matter for Surya. Because in real life, such an attitude is far from him.

"Playing Faisal is a bit of a challenge for me because I have to be authoritarian, what I say cannot be questioned. While in reality, I'm not like that. That's my challenge," said Surya during a round table session in the Jenderal Sudirman area, South Jakarta.

1. Not Too Close

The young actor who plays alongside Surya Saputra in the series THE ACES is Emir Mahira. During the preparation, they intentionally did not get too close to each other to intensify the conflict between the father and his son.

"For this role, I have to keep a distance from Emir, we can't get too close. Because if we make it comfortable, we won't get the desired effect. But outside of that, there is no problem, all the actors are amazing," said the 48-year-old actor.

2. Competition Among Young Players

THE ACES airs in eight episodes on the Prime Video streaming service starting from December 21, 2023. It tells the story of Dharma Triasmana and Kiu, two young billiard players with striking personality differences.

Dharma, known for being perfectionist and methodical, comes from a billiard dynasty family, while Kiu is a mischievous and unpredictable street kid. They compete to become the best in any way possible.
