According to Iko Uwais, during two months of shooting with senior Hollywood actors, he did not feel any discrimination. Being the main actor and coming from Asia, it turns out Iko received fair treatment in all shooting processes.

"They turned out to be beyond expectations when it comes to their working environment, there is no feeling that I am a newcomer. Even though he is the main actor, as well as the producer, he is like a sultan in that circle," said Iko Uwais.

"But he equalizes the level in terms of caste which is equally high, and what I feel is that I am very comfortable and safe in their environment and they also trust me to create my own choreography even though there is a team there that handles the choreography," continued Audy Item's husband.

Working with Silvester Stallone and Jason Stanham, who have appeared in many film titles, Iko Uwais admitted that it made the shooting process easier.

"Working with experienced people who have instant chemistry is a completely different feeling. We don't need to practice, on set we can immediately share chemistry," he said.

3. Miracle

For him, being trusted to star in THE EXPENDABLES 4 is a miracle that he is grateful for. Because, he can act with famous Hollywood action actors without having to go through the trouble of auditioning.

"Meeting those who have appeared in hundreds of big-budget films is something that we cannot achieve by simply registering or auditioning, this is a miracle from Allah," he said.
