Film 'SOROP' to Premiere on December 19, Manoj Punjabi Highlights Voucher Fraud Case

The horror film Sorop, adapted from a viral story by SimpleMan, is scheduled to premiere on December 19, 2024. However, the promotion of this film has been tarnished due to the embezzlement of ticket vouchers by individuals from a printing company.

MD Pictures reported two suspects with the initials H and Y to the Kemayoran Police on December 5, 2024. They are suspected of embezzling vouchers, causing the company to incur losses of hundreds of millions of rupiah.

"This is the problem. We want to implement a promotional strategy, but it has become an issue because the vouchers were duplicated. MD must take responsibility; the amount is very significant," said Manoj Punjabi, Producer and CEO of MD Pictures, at the Gala Premiere of Sorop, South Jakarta, Friday (December 13, 2024) evening.

Manoj expressed disappointment with the action, especially amid the rapid development of the Indonesian film industry. He believes this incident tarnishes efforts to advance local films.

"Indonesian films have significant challenges, yes. From storytelling to how to engage the audience. So there shouldn't be things like duplicated vouchers," added Manoj.
