Paired Again with Bunga Citra Lestari, Reza Rahadian Reminds Director to Be Patient in Accepting Absurd Behaviors

Kapanlagi.com - Bunga Citra Lestari and Reza Rahadian are reunited in a film called PASUTRI GAJE. This marks their fourth collaboration after HABIBIE & AINUN, MY STUPID BOSS, and 3 SRIKANDI.

Unlike their previous titles, this time they play a married couple in a romantic comedy. After reading the script, both Bunga and Reza admitted that it reflects their daily lives behind the scenes.

"When it comes to awkwardness and absurdity, that's our daily life. When we read the script, the relationship between the couple was fun and I saw it in us. As friends, we have an absurd life," said Reza, who was met at Falcon Pictures' office in Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (20/6/2023).

1. Asking the Director to be Patient

As it is similar to real life, Reza Rahadian and Bunga Citra Lestari asked Fajar Bustomi, the director, to be patient. Because they might cause chaos on the set.

"From the reading process, we already said, 'We hope Fajar will be patient.' Because it seems like we already know what we're going to do. Unge (Bunga) looks elegant on stage, but in reality, it's far from that. And we know that the exploration will be interesting because what needs to be maintained is the spirit that this couple needs to look absurd," Reza revealed.

2. Not Trying to be Funny

Considering that it is adapted from the Webtoon comic of the same name, Reza Rahadian and Bunga Citra Lestari will make adjustments. So that even though they look like an absurd couple, they can still be accepted.

"Of course, the absurdity must be accompanied by reality so that the strangeness that arises does not become too comical. The events in the scenario are already absurd, we just need to respond and bring it to life during shooting. So we don't need to try to be funny. We won't try to be funny because the situation is already funny," Reza emphasized.
