I'll take action film roles for the right price, says singer Haikal Farid

Singer Haikal Farid, whose full name is Mohammad Haikal Farid Rizal, revealed he is open to accepting roles in action films, even those with a high risk of injury, provided the compensation is substantial.

The 27-year-old artist emphasized that his primary consideration for accepting such demanding roles would be the financial incentive. "If the offered payment is high and significant, I have no problem doing any of those stunts. We are willing to commit to that level if offered commensurate pay," he stated.

Haikal, who was speaking at the launch event for his single and official music video 'Aku Klasik' in Kuala Lumpur, also drew a distinction between the demands of singing and acting. He finds acting to be considerably more challenging, requiring a deeper engagement with a character than interpreting a song.

"In my observation, acting and singing have very different demands. When singing, the effort to internalize a song is easier. This is very different from acting, where the process of internalizing and embodying a character is much harder. Because of this difficulty, I prioritize payment as the main factor," he explained.

Previously, Haikal Farid had a minor acting role, performing brief action sequences in the film 'Gayong'.
