Remembering Adi Kurdi, Anas Syahrul Alimi: The film 'TERIMA KASIH EMAK TERIMA KASIH ABAH' Can Become a Monument for Abah

Kapanlagi.com - The entertainment world of the homeland is once again grieving the loss of its best actor. Adi Kurdi, who played Abah in the film TERIMA KASIH EMAK TERIMA KASIH ABAH (TETA), passed away on Friday (8/5) at the National Brain Center Hospital, East Jakarta.

One of his colleagues and also the Executive Producer of the film TETA, Anas Syahrul Alimi, also expressed condolences for the departure of the senior actor. He admitted to greatly admiring the figure of Adi Kurdi, who was so humble and simple.

"I am very impressed with him. A humble and simple person, experienced and a maestro. Every time he talked to me, I felt no difference from when he was acting. If shooting is just like having a normal conversation. That's within Abah as an Indonesian film maestro. In my opinion, the peak of an actor is when he is not acting in front of the camera," said Anas Syahrul Alimi when contacted by phone on Friday (8/5).

1. Last Communication

Anas admitted that the actor who played Abah didn't come to the film poster launch because he was sick. However, he said that they still exchanged messages recently.

"(Last communication) Video call two days ago, but Abah didn't respond anymore, but he wanted to see me even though it's unusual. I already knew that Abah was sick since a week ago, but the family asked not to spread the news. At that time, Abah also came home (from the hospital) after recovering. Well, 3 days ago he was admitted again and his health declined," he said.

He also added that the last time he met Adi Kurdi was a year ago. At that time, they had finished shooting the film.

2. Film Schedule Delayed

Furthermore, Anas said that the schedule for the film THANK YOU MOTHER THANK YOU FATHER, which was originally scheduled to be released on April 16, will be delayed. Until now, he is still waiting for the new schedule from the cinema.

"What is surprising is that this is Abah's last film, it can be a monument for Abah. This is an honor for us because this is Abah's last work in the film," he said.

Anas said that the thing that impressed him about Abah is that he speaks his mind like a father to his child. He also plans to visit the grave of the late Adi Kurdi when the PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) is over.
