Interview conducted on 28 September at Cinema Online's office. After the success of "Jangan Pandang Belakang Congkak" in 2009, director Ahmad Idham didn't hesitate to create the sequel "Jangan Pandang Belakang Congkak 2" (aka "JPBC 2"). Garnering RM1.5 million on opening weekend, "JPBC 2" stars Lisa Surihani, Cat Farish, Mazlan Pet-Pet, Bob Kuman and also Pak Pie, while Nora Danish serves as the new addition to the cast.
Q: Are there any challenges during the filming? Cat Farish: My only challenge was to be in cold water for a long time and that was hard! I couldn't stand it because it was too cold! Lan: Nothing too hard during filming, but just that Ahmad Idham is quite meticulous about our every detail from head to toe so it doesn't appear too awkward on camera.
Q: How did you feel about Shaheizy Sam's absence in "JPBC 2"? Cat Farish: I'm sad but what can I do when he has another movie production during the filming of "JPBC 2". However, his character's name is still mentioned in the sequel as we don't want to completely disregard him. Somehow, I hope that there will be "JPBC 3" where we can all regroup together. Lan: The show must go on without his presence. Hopefully when there is "JPBC 3", we can be ghostbusters! (laughs)
Q: What are your thoughts on each other's acting? Cat Farish: Abang Lan is a great man. He has helped me tremendously and I am glad to learn many things from him. Lan: I am glad to have worked alongside Cat. It's not easy to find someone who is as good as him. We both give and take and that's what makes our work much smoother. Q: What's the next step for you? Cat Farish: My upcoming movie "Cuti-Cuti Cinta" will be played later this month on 21 October 2010. Music wise, I'm currently busy with KL Pop project that combines the collective talents of VE, Ruffedge and more. Lan: For me, Senario will return with another movie entitled "Senario Ops Pocot" due early next year.
