7 Portraits of the 'GUNDIK' Press Conference, Presenting Horror-Heist Tension with a Touch of Comedy - Luna Maya as a Mysterious Figure

Anggy Umbara once again makes a splash in the Indonesian film industry with his latest film titled GUNDIK. After the success of his controversial drama-horror film that attracted nearly 6 million viewers last year, this time Anggy presents an unusual genre: horror-heist with a fresh and bold comedic touch.

On Sunday (16/3/2025), the teaser trailer and the second poster of the film GUNDIK were officially introduced. In the clip, a strong mystical power is evident, wrapped in luxurious sound and visuals. Tense scenes filled with blood and laughter seem to be a new hallmark that Anggy wants to promote, reminiscent of the early days of his career known for wild and surprising works.

Broadly speaking, GUNDIK tells the story of four robbers planning a heist at the home of a mistress of state officials, commonly referred to as 'gundik'. However, they are unaware that the woman is actually Sang Nyai, the ruler of the Southern Sea. The initial intent to rob turns into an effort to save themselves from the deadly terror brought by the mistress. Through this film, Anggy not only presents a chilling horror story but also embeds symbols of greed, dark history, and deadly power relations.

The mysterious and sensual figure of the concubine is played by Luna Maya. Luna's presence seems to hypnotize the audience, drawing them into a dark and frightening reality. This marks Luna's second horror project with Anggy, after they previously collaborated on another highly successful horror film.

In addition to Luna Maya, the lineup of other cast members is equally intriguing. Maxime Bouttier, Agus Kuncoro, Ratu Sofya, Rukman Rosadi, Tyo Pakusadewo, and Arief Didu also enliven this film with their respective characters. One of the highlights is Ratu Sofya's role, where she acts alongside Maxime Bouttier, portraying the wife of the character played by Maxime.

Even though she had to act as Maxime's wife, Ratu admitted that she did not feel awkward even though Luna Maya, who is known to be Maxime's real-life girlfriend, was also involved in the film. For her, professionalism is the most important thing.

The friendship that developed among them actually made the shooting atmosphere more relaxed. Ratu emphasized that all the actors understood the need to separate work matters and relationships outside the set.

Ratu also revealed that she did not feel the need to ask for permission from Luna when performing scenes with Maxime. She views Luna as a very mature person who understands professionalism in the acting world.

Meanwhile, Luna Maya herself admitted that she was not bothered seeing her boyfriend perform scenes with his co-star. Luna approached the situation casually and professionally. "It's just normal," said Luna while laughing.
