Ari Irham Acknowledges That the Character Hikmah in SENI MERAYU TUHAN Resembles Himself, Touches on Selfish Traits

Young actor Ari Irham is involved in the latest feature film titled SENI MERAYU TUHAN as the main character named Hikmah. Scheduled to premiere simultaneously in theaters on August 13, 2026, this film carries a coming-of-age genre, about a young man who 'loses direction' after the passing of his mother.

During a press conference held in Senayan, Ari Irham revealed that the character Hikmah he plays has many similarities and serves as a reflection of his personal life.

Ari mentioned that Hikmah's selfish traits are similar to his own in real life. He often feels he is in a phase where he believes he is always right.

"But one reflection of Hikmah's character might be the trait of selfishness, right? The trait of selfishness within myself too, maybe I've felt where I always feel right in life," said Ari Irham during a Press Conference session at XXI Epicentrum Jakarta, Tuesday (4/8/2026).

However, after portraying the character of Hikmah and watching the film directly, Ari feels more grateful. The character Khatib as Hikmah's friend in the film Seni Merayu Tuhan reminds Ari of the presence of his close friends who are sincere and remind each other.

"This film reminds me that I still have friends who can tell me that I smell like armpits, that I have bad breath. There are friends like Khatib in my life," said Ari Irham.

Besides the selfish nature, he believes there is one habit of Hikmah that is very similar to his real life, which is the habit of often forgetting to reply to messages from his mother.

Ari Irham also conveyed that the process of character development of Hikmah is very similar to what he is going through now. He admitted that he felt scared while watching this film because he realized that he is also still in the process of learning to live.

"It's just like Hikmah. I'm still in the process of living too, that's what makes me scared while watching this because I'm still in the process too," said Ari Irham.
