Once Casted because of Having Many Followers, Andhika Pratama Blamed the Production Team during the Film Sepi

Kapanlagi.com - Andhika Pratama and Abimana were having a conversation on Andhika Pratama's YouTube channel (5/12). At that time, they were sharing their career journey as actors in the country.

Abimana said that he used to doubt himself as an actor. This was because many people looked at the number of social media followers he had.

"So for those who are currently doubting themselves because they don't have many followers and can't get jobs, don't worry. Everyone goes through that," said Abimana.

1. Casting Look at Followers

Abimana said that currently there are many casting actors who only look at the number of followers. Abimana firmly admits that it is the wrong way.

"If you cast people based on followers, it's called stupid. This is what I'm saying directly to all casting directors. You cast people based on the needs of the story, not just their followers. Followers are not important, and that still often happens," said Abimana.

2. Andhika Has Experienced It

Hearing that, Andhika admitted that he has also been treated that way. Even Ussy Sulistiawaty's husband admitted that he was blamed because the movie he starred in was not successful.

"I've been cast like that. But in the end, the movie was not worth it, and they blamed the actor. But that's what causes our anger towards this industry. Many artists in this industry always clash between their artistic soul and the business," explained Andhika.
