Kapanlagi.com - Last September, producer Manoj Punjabi announced the making of KKN DI DESA PENARI 2: BADARAWUHI. The horror film is directed by Kimo Stamboel and stars Aulia Sarah as Badarawuhi.

At the beginning of 2024, Manoj released a teaser poster for the film. What caught attention was the change of title to BADARAWUHI IN THE DANCER VILLAGE. Apparently, the change of title has been a marketing plan from the beginning.

"We deliberately kept this title a secret. Kept it as a surprise. If we mentioned the current title from the beginning, oh, it wouldn't be exciting," said Manoj when met at MD Place, Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, on Monday (22/1/2024).

1. Players Unaware of the Original Title

Not only the public was deceived by Manoj Punjabi. Because players like Aulia Sarah, Jourdy Pranata, and Maudy Effrosina also did not know because the scenario cover used the title KKN DI DESA PENARI 2: BADARAWUHI.

"Even during the shooting scenario, the players didn't know. They only found out today because only we, Kimo Stamboel, and Simpleman knew. If I told the players, the crew and the field people would know. So it wouldn't be a surprise anymore," said Manoj.

2. The Right Title

BADARAWUHI DI DESA PENARI is called by Manoj Punjabi as the most appropriate title. Because that title also represents the overall story.

"If you watch it later, you will know why the title is like this. And the title is in line with the story. If we use KKN DI DESA PENARI 2: BADARAWUHI, it's not (appropriate). This is the right title, this is what we want," said Manoj.
