Kapanlagi.com - At the age of 63, Ozy Syahputra is once again showcasing his existence in the Indonesian film industry. This legendary actor stars in his latest horror comedy film titled 'Setan Botak di Jembatan Ancol', which is scheduled to be released in theaters on March 6, 2025. This film is a spin-off from the Si Manis Jembatan Ancol universe that is already well-known to many people.

Ozy, who plays his iconic character, Bang Ozi alias Setan Botak, feels very grateful and proud. After 33 years of a career in film, he finally has a movie showcasing this character. He never expected to return with a character that has already become dear to many people's hearts.

The story in this film focuses on Nirmala, an indigo girl who investigates the mysterious deaths of several children. In her search, she discovers that Bang Ozy holds the key to the mystery. While his character was often known to be playful and funny before, this time Ozy Syahputra reveals that his character is somewhat different. He gives a hint to potential viewers that the bald ghost at Ancol Bridge will not be playful like the soap opera version.

"Don't expect me to be playful, there won't be any. This is indeed according to the request of director Anggy Umbara. When I was offered to play in a ghost film, it had to be scary," said Ozy Syahputra.

3. A Fresh Nostalgic Atmosphere

This film is expected to bring a nostalgic atmosphere while also presenting something new and interesting for the audience. The actor, born on December 1, 1962, not only showcases his impressive acting skills but is also supported by scary makeup that takes up to 2 hours to achieve optimal appearance. For him, the bald ghost character feels very personal and important in the history of his career.

"There is a nostalgic atmosphere, you must miss my voice. (That distinctive laugh) is there. But this is something different, not the same as before," Ozy Syahputra concluded while hoping Bald Ghost at Ancol Bridge will achieve box office success.
