Bima Azriel Reveals Unique Mobile Legends Workshop Experience for 'Nobody Loves Kay' Film

Young actor Bima Azriel shared his unique experience during the production of his latest film, ‘Nobody Loves Kay’. Unlike typical film projects, Bima revealed that the cast and crew underwent a special workshop involving Mobile Legends to delve into the esports-themed storyline. The actor explained that these gaming sessions were conducted regularly to build chemistry and gain a deeper understanding of the game’s mechanics. Bima noted that after each script reading session, the production team would hold five-a-side matches between the actors and crew to help them experience the competitive atmosphere of digital gaming. Notably, Bima mentioned that the gameplay footage featured in the film was not staged but actual recordings from their workshops. “The gameplay you see in the film is us playing for real,” he said, adding that this was a new experience for him, with script reading sessions replaced by gaming sessions. Through this process, Bima gained a new perspective on professional esports athletes, noting how seriously they train. “They train intensely, with strict schedules for meals, sleep, and practice. It’s just like any other sport,” he explained. This approach proved invaluable for the cast in understanding the game’s rhythm and the importance of teamwork central to the film’s narrative. With this realistic approach, ‘Nobody Loves Kay’ aims to provide an accurate and in-depth portrayal of Indonesia’s rapidly growing esports industry.
