The selection of Desta for the role of Dono in the latest WARKOP DKI film was not an instant decision. The process involved lengthy discussions and approvals from various parties, including the extended family of WARKOP DKI.
Indro Warkop explained that this decision was the result of a vote from the family, which consists of the children of the three WARKOP DKI members. Even the family of the late Dono gave their full blessing for Desta to portray the legendary character.
"There were even some who withdrew early, and then we kind of held auditions, and the last thing was when we had a few options we clarified. One of the things is that this is an extension of Warkop's intellectual property rights, which are owned by the children of Warkop, and they, as the holders of what you might call their rights, also have their own families and a voice to determine," said Indro WARKOP.
"So if I may be frank, their votes chose Desta," he added.

Receiving the offer to play Dono in the latest WARKOP DKI film was certainly surprising for Desta. He admitted that at first he thought he would only be a supporting actor or an extra when he was contacted by Indro WARKOP's daughter.
"I thought it was just an invitation to play a film, whether or not I wanted to be a supporting role. Because I really didn’t want to shoot a film anymore," said Desta.
However, he was immediately shocked when offered the role of Dono. As a huge fan of Warkop DKI since childhood, Desta felt an incredible pressure after receiving the offer. He even had trouble sleeping thinking about the huge responsibility he would bear.
"But honestly, this is a lot of pressure from Om Indro for me. I mean, I've been a fan for a long time, I WhatsApp you and I send you photos. Now I’m playing one of you, which is a huge pride for me. I couldn't even sleep thinking about my family matters," revealed Desta.

Although feeling burdened, Desta eventually accepted the offer for the latest WARKOP DKI film. There are several strong reasons that made him determined to take on this iconic role. The main reason is a direct request from Indro Warkop, a figure he has idolized for a long time.
"First, because Om Indro asked directly. Hm. Because I really idolize Om Indro and Warkop," he revealed.
In addition, the full blessing from the Warkop family, including the family of the late Dono, became a determining factor. Desta felt he had no reason to refuse after receiving that 100% support.
"Secondly, Om Indro said that the Warkop family and even the family of Om Dono chose me 100%. I felt like, wow, I really have no reason to refuse actually," added Desta.

Indro Warkop shared his views on the process of selecting the actor for Dono, emphasizing that character is the most important aspect. According to him, physical appearance can be shaped or adjusted.
"Because for me, the person who understands the character of Dono is the most important. Because looks can be shaped," Indro explained.
This shows a focus on a deep understanding of the figure of Dono. Indro believes that Desta has a strong understanding of the legendary character Dono.
"So what's important is the character. The most important thing is that he understands it well, he knows it well. Oh, Dono is like this, the character is like this. So we just need to polish it," he added.
