Ready to Shoot in April 2020, 'SATRIA DEWA GATOTKACA' Cast Announced - Director Change

Kapanlagi.com - Along with the increasing interest of the audience in Indonesian films, local filmmakers are also becoming more daring in exploring genres. Like Satria Dewa Studios, which is ready to produce a superhero film titled SATRIA DEWA GATOTKACA.

This superhero film project has been introduced to the public since early 2019. However, it was only one year later that the main cast was announced, which fell on actor Rizky Nazar.

Not only the cast, the name of the director who will lead the opening film of the Satria Dewa Universe franchise was also announced. Previously introduced as Charles Gozali, the position now falls on Hanung Bramantyo.

The change from Charles Gozali to Hanung Bramantyo certainly raises a big question mark. Unfortunately, Hanung has no idea about it, because it is clear that he is the director.

"I don't know about that. Because all I know is that I was called, asked if I was willing to direct this film, oh I am. Because I have a concern about Mahabharata. I made a vow within myself to make a film about Mahabharata as my final film," explained Hanung during the introduction event for the cast and director of SATRIA DEWA GATOTKACA in Kota Kasablanka, South Jakarta, Sunday (26/1).

2. Fighting Practice

Rizky Nazar, who usually plays in romance dramas, has been chosen to be an actor in a superhero film. Because of that, Hanung Bramantyo asked Rizky to practice fighting more diligently considering that the shooting process will start next April.

"He needs to exercise, practice basic fighting, which is silat," said Hanung. Rizky, when met separately, also talked about the fighting practice. "I've been practicing since last year, just had a break, I think I'll be pushed for a month before shooting," he added.
