How are Indonesian Celebrities
The film LASTRI: ARWAH KEMBANG DESA is set to greet Indonesian audiences on July 16, 2026. Behind the horror elements and the urban legend story, actress Hana Saraswati admits to having a special reason for ultimately accepting the offer to play the character Lastri.
Hana stated that the script was the main factor that attracted her to be involved in the project. According to her, the story presented not only offers horror elements but also a strong drama.
The actress Lastri explained that the film takes the audience to two different time periods. This concept makes the story feel richer and sparks curiosity from the very first time reading the script.
Hana considers the depiction of Lastri's life in the past to be one of the biggest attractions of this film. The character of Lastri, known as the village flower, has a tragic life journey that later evolved into a legend believed by the community to this day.
According to her, many people might think this film only focuses on the figure of a terrifying spirit. In fact, the story presented actually explores Lastri's life while she was alive until she ultimately became an urban legend known to the public.
That is why Hana feels that the character she plays has a layer of emotions that is quite complex. She also admits to being interested in exploring the character's life journey during the filming process. This curiosity arose when she read the script for the first time. Moreover, the film presents a time setting that is different from her current generation's life.
"The first time I read it, I was curious because besides the story being extraordinary in my opinion, in terms of writing, we are divided into two time phases. So in this two-hour run time, we are taken to the 1980s and then to the present year, 2020. There are many things that are processed," said Hana Saraswati during a conversation in South Jakarta, Tuesday (23/6).
The concept of intergenerational storytelling has made Hana increasingly interested in exploring the story. She feels there are many lessons to be learned from the lives of people in that era, which are then linked to Lastri's tale. "So one of the reasons why I am interested in taking on this project is the script, which is extraordinarily written, and the character exploration that I am curious about," she continued.
The film LASTRI: ARWAH KEMBANG DESA stars Hana Saraswati, Yama Carlos, Ratu Meta, Rizal Djibran, Audy Bella, Nando Hilmy, Debby Sahertian, and Ingrid Wijanarto. Directed by Hendri Tivo, the film is scheduled to be released simultaneously in Indonesian cinemas starting July 16, 2026. In addition to presenting a horror atmosphere, this film also tells the tragic story of a woman whose name has become a legend in the community.
