Anwar: “Watching (Farid’s) performance, you can tell that he worked very hard to (bring my character to life). The only difference is that he is more handsome than I am.”

The first time Farid met Anwar was for dinner, where he asked for advice about how he could embody the role. However, the meeting only lasted two hours, which, according to the actor, wasn’t enough. “He also advised me to play the role well since the film would be screened in Indonesia and he had lots of Indonesian supporters,” he said.
“The hard part was copying the way he raised his hand after he was brought to court in 1998 – like you can see in the movie poster,” he said, adding that it took him an entire month of practising to get the right position.On May 8, Anwar attended the premiere of the biopic at Dadi Cinema, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. He was accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
The Malaysian leader also said that he was impressed by director Viva’s ability to condense his 23-year journey in politics into over an hour.
