Dennis Adhiswara is trusted to play the character Luki in the film COCOTE TONGGO. This film is the latest work of Bayu Skak, produced by Tobali Film and Skak Studios.
In the story, Luki is a husband who sells fertility herbal medicine with his wife, Murni. However, the couple must face pressure from their surroundings because they have not been blessed with children. "So actually when I was offered this role, it was about 40 days before shooting, really 40 days," said Dennis when met in Cilandak, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (15/4/2025).
Dennis admitted that he was initially hesitant to accept this role because he felt it was too close to his personal situation. He was undergoing a pregnancy program with his wife when he was offered the script. "Honestly, when I first heard it, I was a bit shocked, because there seemed to be similarities with my personal life, which was indeed in a child program and trying to have a child. I kept wondering," he said.
After reading the script more deeply, Dennis realized there were many dialogues in the film that felt like things he had experienced. This made him panic and question whether he was suitable for this role. "I kept asking, am I the right person, am I fit for this, even though I was having a bit of a panic attack, it felt too close, plus after I studied the script, the lines that came out from both of our characters and the character who gossips, felt like we had heard them too," Dennis revealed.
