Kapanlagi.com - With the reopening of cinemas, producers have started discussing the schedule for the release of delayed films. One of the titles that has received a release date is LOSMEN BU BROTO.

This drama by Ifa Isfansyah and Eddie Cahyono is set to be released on November 18th. The chosen date has apparently been adjusted to the schedule of the release of foreign films to avoid audience conflicts.

"So we discussed with the cinema about the release date of blockbuster films. I see that there is a suitable window for a large-scale Indonesian film on October 18th. The screen will be maximized and there will be no competition with other films," said Robert Ronny, the producer, when met at Epicentrum XXI, Rasuna area, South Jakarta, on Thursday (9/23/2021).

"In choosing the date, we see it as usual (before the pandemic), where people can watch without confusion. On the 18th, we predict that once it is released, people will watch it because they miss going to the cinema," continued the man who is familiarly called Robron.

LOSMEN BU BROTO is not a remake of the TV series LOSMEN that aired on TVRI in the 80s. This film version is actually prepared as a prequel.

"In terms of timeline, we are sort of a prequel to the existing series. So the characters' stories are younger," said Maudy Ayunda, who plays Jeng Sri, during the same occasion.

Considering it's a prequel, Maudy and the other cast members have to imagine how the characters' actions and reactions in the film would be. Taking into account the events prior to the version of the series created by the late Wahyu Sihombing.

LOSMEN BU BROTO features a number of well-known names in the country. There's Maudy Koesnaedi as Bu Broto, Mathias Muchus as Pak Broto, Putri Marino as Mbak Pur, Maudy Ayunda as Jeng Sri, and Baskara Mahendra as Tarjo.
