Kimo is also my friend, we WhatsApp each other every day, so it's not a problem (to have the films compared)," said Joko when met at Epicentrum XXI, Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (28/2/2024).

2. Ibarat Barbenheimer

Joko Anwar doesn't mind his new film being released alongside BADARAWUHI DI DESA PENARI. With a smile, he likened the release of these two films to when BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER were released and became a global conversation.
