Ali Fikry Dares to Appear in BAPAKMU KIPER, Impromptu Flip Makes Ocay Nervous Ali Fikry/KapanLagi.com/Budy Santoso

Kapanlagi.com - Ali Fikry shared the story behind the goal celebration he showcased in the film "Bapakmu Kiper". Not just a pose, he chose to do a front flip or salto on the field, a spontaneous act that immediately made director Ody Harahap, also known as Ocay, cautious about the safety of the shooting.

"Actually, the flip celebration wasn’t in the script; I just wanted to do it when I scored, everyone was shouting, 'ah flip ah'," said Ali at a press conference at Metropole XXI, Tuesday (1/9/2026).

Previously, Ocay had only asked Ali to show a metal symbol with his hands every time the character scored a goal. However, when the camera started rolling, Ali opted for a more expressive celebration with the flip, making that moment a highlight during the match scene.

1. Ocay Was Surprised to See Ali Fikry's Somersault

Witnessing the improvisation firsthand, Ocay admitted he was surprised. As a director, he places primary importance on the safety of the actors during the shooting process, especially when physical actions are performed in the midst of a dynamic game rhythm.

"From my side, if something goes wrong, it can be a disaster, oh man, we have to stop or whatever," said Ocay.

His concerns began to ease when Ocay saw that Ali was quite skilled at executing the somersault. This assessment made him more relaxed in arranging the next shots without holding back the celebratory expressions that had already developed on the field.

From that moment on, Ocay allowed creative freedom for Ali to continue showcasing his celebratory style throughout the production process. As long as all safety elements were maintained and did not disrupt the flow of shooting, the improvisation was given space to proceed consistently.

"Turns out he's good, so just keep doing that. Until his video has him spinning around, whatever, it’s up to him. The important thing is safety," Ocay added.

2. Improvisation Becomes the Highlight at the Press Conference

The unplanned somersault became one of the prominent topics at the press conference for "Your Father is the Goalkeeper" at Metropole XXI. The behind-the-scenes story illustrates how surprises on set can lead to moments that enliven the match scenes.

"Your Father is the Goalkeeper" highlights the dynamics of neighborhood football or Tarkam typical of Indonesia, wrapped in a warm story of father-son relationships. The blend of drama and comedy accompanies the journey of the characters, including space for spontaneous expressions like the celebration performed by Ali.

The cast includes Fedi Nuril, Ali Fikry, Augie Fantinus, Vidi Bule, and Tigor Ginting, supported by a lineup of other actors. The film is directed by Ody Harahap, also known as Ocay, who focuses on the details of the action on the field and the narrative needs.

The film's release schedule has been set, with "Your Father is the Goalkeeper" set to hit theaters across Indonesia starting September 3, 2026. With a combination of family themes and Tarkam atmosphere, this film offers a viewing experience rooted in the daily lives of local football enthusiasts.
