Many Main Romantic Genre Films, Jefri Nichol Admits Addicted

Kapanlagi.com - The new film Jefri Nichol titled LIKE RAIN FALLING TO EARTH finally released through streaming services. In this romantic drama adaptation of the bestselling novel with the same title, Nichol portrays a character named Kevin who secretly likes his own best friend.

Once again, playing in romantic genre films is acknowledged to be very enjoyable for Nichol. That's because he likes that genre.

"I enjoy this genre. I like watching romantic films because it's my favorite genre. It's like a cheap vacation, for example, when I'm sad, watching a romantic comedy makes me happy again," said Nichol during a virtual conference session last week.

Although he enjoys acting in romantic films with all their subgenres, Jefri Nichol does not want to be trapped. He also balances it out by accepting offers from other genres.

"I also participate in films outside of romance like HIT & RUN. It's just a matter of portioning, even though there will always be romantic films," said the 21-year-old guy.

2. Getting Wet in the Rain Until Getting Sick

Although romantic films may seem easy, there are always unique challenges faced by actors and actresses. Whether it's playing characters with contrasting personalities or performing scenes they have never done before. This is the case for Jefri Nichol when he was involved in SEPERTI HUJAN YANG JATUH KE BUMI.

"We were shooting this film in January and it was raining a lot, and I had many scenes where I had to be in the rain, so I got typhoid fever in the last three days of shooting. Eventually, the shooting had to be stopped because I needed medical treatment. Then there was a scene where I had to dance with an umbrella, it was my first time dancing in a film," Nichol shared.
