In a Facebook post today, Idris said he was disappointed with the emergence of the video.
He said he would contact the parties involved and advise them so that this matter could be settled sensibly.
“I am disappointed that such an outrageous clip was shared to promote a show which will be screened during a month when Muslims would usually do good deeds (taqwa).
“Ramadan may be tainted and I think that should be stopped.
“Entertainment is not prohibited in Islam, but it must adhere to certain rules, especially when it involves scenes showing physical proximity and interaction between men and women. Such scenes may be considered immoral.
“I don’t want to restrict our entertainment industry, but I cannot allow it if it can corrupt our religion and morals. We need to advise them,” he said.
The 20-second teaser, which is no longer available on the actor’s Instagram page, went viral on social media yesterday.
In the teaser for the drama “Perempuan Itu”, actress Siti Hariesa pushes Zul up against a wall. He then proceeds to take off his shirt and embrace her.
In another scene, Siti, who is dressed in a maid’s outfit, feeds Zul whipped cream. Zul then lifts her up and embraces her.
