Vanesha Prescilla will shed her 'sweet' teenage image in her latest character. This 19-year-old actress will play a cool hero in the Bumilangit universe. Sasha will be cast as Cempaka, a female hero who can be called 'Indonesia's Tarzan'.

Switching from drama to action genre, this is both a challenge and a pride for her. "I'm really excited, I just found out that there are comic artists in Indonesia who create pure Indonesian comics. I'm very happy," Vanesha said at the Bumilangit press conference in Jakarta, Sunday (18/8/19).

Vanesha will play Cempaka, a female hero from the past. She can't reveal much about her character, but Vanesha admits that Cempaka will have her own special powers.

"Challenging for me because previously I played a schoolgirl but here I become a superhero. So I have to train for fitness," Vanesha explained enthusiastically.

Not only Vanesha who will compete, a number of beautiful celebrities will also compete in the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe. Mentioned are Dian Sastro, Pev Pearce, Chelsea Islan, and Tara Basro who will enliven the Bumilangit universe.

However, there is no certainty yet in which film Vanesha will act. The first film from Bumilangit phase 1 will be released with the title 'GUNDALA'.

Used to acting in teenage films, Vanesha is leaving her comfort zone in this project. It seems that the younger sister of Sissy and Jevin is ready to 'level up'. "Alhamdulillah proud, but it's not just me, it's all an award for the film crew and other cast members, it's teamwork," said Vanesha.

Cempaka's character is very different from Milea's. Vanesha admitted that she needed more preparation. "To be more physically fit and to defend herself because I am new to self-defense," said Vanesha.

Vanesha made her big screen debut in 2018 in the film DILAN 1990. She has only starred in three films, but she has had the opportunity to act alongside top actors in Indonesia.

"I am very interested, the concept and the cast challenge me a lot. Because I am acting with seniors, I can learn a lot from them," concluded Vanesha.
