Actor Beto Kusyairy: 'Imaginur' script most heavily annotated in my career

Actor Beto Kusyairy has disclosed that the script for the science-fiction romance film 'Imaginur' is the most extensively annotated in his acting career. Kusyairy, whose real name is Nurkusyairy Zakuan Osman, stated that actors frequently make notes on scripts to grasp the purpose of each scene.

"So far, 'Imaginur' is the script I've scribbled on the most, to the point where it's quite messy. This script is among the best of my career," he remarked. The winner of the Best Actor award at the 32nd Malaysia Film Festival added that each actor has their own method for managing scripts after filming concludes.

"Scripts are not returned; after completion, it's up to each individual whether to keep or discard them. The script is the heart," he explained. "Some are filled with annotations, markers, continuity details, and other things. For me, I only make minimal notes on scenes I feel need it.

"Sometimes there are no notes at all because I want authenticity in my performance. What matters is understanding and knowing the goal of each scene," Kusyairy said. He shared these insights to clarify fan questions on social media about the status and handling of film scripts post-production. 'Imaginur,' directed by Nik Amir Mustapha, follows Zuhal, a man attempting to reconstruct his lost memories through hypnosis, blurring the lines between reality and imagination in his quest for his dream woman.
