Having Doubts, Here Are 8 Photos of Wika Salim Who Finally Made a Comeback Through the Role of a Single Mother in 'MENDADAK DANGDUT'

Wika Salim once again demonstrates her talent in the acting world through the film MENDADAK DANGDUT, which will be released on April 30, 2025. In this film, she plays the character Tata, a widow with one child who has to struggle alone to support her family. Wika's involvement in this project is not without its story, as she initially hesitated to accept the offer.

"I'm really happy because I hesitated to take this film," said Wika Salim when met at XXI Plaza Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday (April 9, 2025). Here are the details.

There is a reason behind this; Wika admitted that she felt a bit insecure about returning to acting in films. However, once she understood the storyline, her confidence began to grow slowly. "My background is not as a film actor, so it was a bit daunting to take on a film. But I finally gathered the courage, and it turns out the story is interesting, fun, I really like the story," said Wika.

This player is indeed synonymous with the dangdut world, so it's no surprise that he eventually got involved in a film that is thematically connected to music. Initially, Wika didn't immediately agree to the invitation due to her feelings of uncertainty. "Why can I act again? Because MENDADAK DANGDUT happens to be a dangdut singer and was invited to participate," she explained.

"At first, I wasn't really willing because I wasn't confident yet. But Mr. Indra convinced me, we talked, and it turned out that after knowing the story was good," said Wika.

Tata's role is indeed serious because the character is strong and has an emotional side that can make the audience get immersed. Although she doesn't come from the film world, Wika still tries to maximize the role given to her.

"I play the role of Tata, a widow with one child, supporting my child. To continue being a leading singer, I marry Babe Romli. In the end, love," she revealed.

"So my role here is not as a film actor, I can enter as Tata, so I can learn, thank God I can play Tata," he continued.

The shooting process also left a positive impression on Wika because all the cast and crew supported each other and created a relaxed atmosphere. She also feels that this film has a different energy because all the actors performed naturally and wholeheartedly.
