It stars Indonesian internet celebrity Anya Geraldine, Indonesian actresses Valerie Thomas and Shindy Huang, and Malaysian actress Eyka Farhana. This local adaptation is directed by award-winning Emil Heradi, who is part of the crew behind Eat, Pray, Love.

Lady Gaga to feature BLACKPINK in her upcoming album




Lady Gaga just confirmed rumours of her collaboration with BLACKPINK. The pop star posted her upcoming album's tracklist which included a song called Sour Candy featuring the popular K-pop girl band. The album titled Chromatica was slated to be released this month, but Lady Gaga announced that the launch will be postponed. "It just doesn't feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic," she said in a tweet. Sour Candy will not be the only artist collab in the album; Lady Gaga also has tracks with Ariana Grande and Elton John. We might not know when Chromatica will drop, but the lineup sure looks promising.
