Kapanlagi.com - Famous producer Manoj Punjabi revives the character of Fitri, which was once booming in its time. Previously, it was a soap opera with a total of 1002 episodes, but now it has been turned into a 16-episode series and is available for streaming.

Although it has become a series, Manoj revealed that the story and characteristics presented are not different from the soap opera. It's just that there are details that need to be adjusted to the development of the times.

"I watched episodes 1 to 60 again, and I realized why this character was popular 14 years ago. I realized that it was because the story and the character were very strong. When we wanted to reboot, we took the character elements from the soap opera, but we made it set in today's time, with the same character as the old Fitri. We adapted it to the current era," said Manoj when interviewed by KapanLagi.com at MD Place, Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, on Friday (16/4/2021).

 

1. Do Not Want to Ruin

Manoj Punjabi reveals caution when re-birthing Cinta Fitri in the form of a series. He ensures that he will not ruin the brand that has grown his production house, MD Entertainment.

"In this series, we want to be more faithful (to the soap opera). Because I believe that something good should not be ruined. This is a story that few people have, this Intellectual Property (IP) that we then adapt to the present time," said Manoj.

 

2. Anggy Umbara Admits to Feeling Dizzy

Meanwhile, Anggy Umbara, who is trusted to be the director, admits that this serialization is making his head spin. It's not surprising, because this is the first series worked on by a director of many box office films.

"Now it turns out that working on a series is also confusing. Compared to a film, it's very different. A film is only 90 minutes, but with a series, we have to think about the mapping for several episodes. That's the challenge, how to present a series that is cinematic in terms of cinematography. Because the approach is more towards a film, but it's a series," Anggy concluded on the occasion.
