Rano Karno and Maudy Koesnaedi Reunite in the Film 'PELANGI TANPA WARNA', Director Optimistic About Shifting the Image of Doel and Zaenab

Kapanlagi.com - Until now, the Indonesian people have known Rano Karno and Maudy Koesnaedi through their roles in soap operas and the film SI DOEL. However, now they are brought together in a family drama titled PELANGI TANPA WARNA.

Indra Gunawan, as the director, expressed his honor when HB Naveen, the producer, offered the two senior actors to be involved. So he immediately agreed and believed that Fedi and Kirana's characters would be powerful in the hands of Rano and Maudy.

"At the beginning, when the producer wanted to produce it, he said, 'What if Rano and Maudy are in it?' I immediately said, 'Okay, Sir, let's start shooting as soon as possible.' When else would I have the chance to direct Rano and Maudy? This is a blessing and an honor for me to direct a film with such great actors. We can imagine what the composition of the cast like that would be," said Indra in a virtual conference via Zoom on Thursday (20/1/2021).

In the release of PELANGI TANPA WARNA, it cannot be denied that many people will compare Rano Karno and Maudy Koesnaedi with their iconic roles. That's where the challenge lies. Indra Gunawan wants to prove that he can bring these two actors to a different level of performance.

"People already know them from their previous film characters (Doel and Zaenab). Then the question is: can we shift their image to become what we want? I am optimistic that we can. And after seeing the first preview, I find it hard to put into words. I am grateful to Uncle Rano and Aunt Maudy," said Indra.

2. Never Before Played by Rano Karno

Rano Karno immediately accepted the role of Fedi when it was offered to him. Because he has never played a husband character like Fedi before. Moreover, after knowing the personal closeness between the scriptwriter and director with the illness that became the story material.

"As an actor, I have never had a role like this, that's why I accepted this role. Because honestly, when I first read the script, I was quite surprised, there is a young person writing a heavy script like this. Turns out, when asked, he has a background, and Indra also has a similar background," explained Rano on the same occasion.

When first offered to be involved in this family drama by Indra Gunawan, Maudy admitted that she was surprised. Because she never thought she would act alongside Rano outside of the soap opera and film SI DOEL.

"The first thing that surprised me when offered this film was when I was told that my co-star is Bang Rano. Huh? In my entire life, I never imagined that I would be able to act in a film together with Bang Rano, not as Doel and Zaenab," said Maudy.
