The film BUYA HAMKA which was released during Eid last year was successful. The biopic of the cleric Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah alias Hamka managed to attract more than one million viewers during its circulation.
Now, the sequel titled HAMKA & SITI RAHAM is ready to be shown in theaters on December 21st. Fajar Bustomi, the director, hopes that the film will not be politicized considering that it is already in a political year.
"In a political year like this, I hope this film won't be politicized. Because I remember the filming process took a long time. We shot it in 2019, it should have been released in 2020," said Fajar as quoted from a text message received by KapanLagi.com on Saturday (11/25/2023).

1. Blocked by Pandemic

Fajar Bustomi revealed that the biopic of Buya Hamka was prepared as a trilogy. The release process of this film, produced in collaboration with Starvision and Falcon Pictures, was hindered by the pandemic.
"Because of the pandemic, the release date kept being postponed. Now, this film is finally being shown just before the election, hopefully politicians can emulate Hamka's attitude of not undermining humanity in politics," added Fajar.

2. Friendship with President Soekarno

The film HAMKA & SITI RAHAM not only tells the story of the cleric and his wife, but also reveals another side of Buya Hamka's friendship with President Soekarno.
Hamka and Soekarno have been friends since they were young. However, differences in political views have affected their relationship. In the film, President Soekarno is played by Anjasmara.
