Director of Superhero 'SATRIA DEWA GATOTKACA', Hanung Bramantyo Doesn't Want Relationship with Charles Gozali to Deteriorate Kapanlagi/Bayu Herdianto

Kapanlagi.com - Not wanting to lose to Marvel or DC Comics, Indonesia is preparing two superhero franchises. The first one, which already has an opening film, is GUNDALA from the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe. This project freely adapts old comics whose intellectual property is owned by Bumilangit Studios.

The second one, which is currently in the shooting preparation stage, is SATRIA DEWA GATOTKACA. This film under the banner of Satria Dewa Studios will be the opening entry of the Satria Dewa Universe, which takes the concept of wayang (Indonesian shadow puppetry).

1. Change of Director

In February 2019, Satria Dewa Studios appointed Charles Gozali as the director of SATRIA DEWA GATOTKACA. However, at the end of January 2020, it was announced that the director's chair had been replaced by Hanung Bramantyo.

When first offered by Celerina Judisari as the producer, Hanung admitted that he didn't want to hastily agree. "I was called by Mbak Celerina, 'Do you have time, but focus, okay?' I asked 'What?' and she answered 'Gatotkaca.' Damn! Well, I'm happy, but I have one question: 'But there's already Mas Charles.' She said it didn't work out. Oh well," said Hanung as quoted during the live Instagram session with Miles Film on Monday (8/6/2020).

2. Not Willing to Worsen

Before finally accepting the offer as director, Hanung conveyed a message that this film project should not have a negative impact on his friendship with Charles as fellow filmmakers.

"I said 'I want to accept this, but I don't want my relationship with Mas Charles to be ruined, Mbak.' She said, 'Just relax.' I don't want to know about any intrigues. I'm purely here as a director, not with Dapur Film. I don't want to deal with the past anymore, I'm creating something," Hanung concluded.
