Andovi and Lopez as Governor Candidates Who Can't Lie in the Film Bapak Paling Jujur

JAKARTA - What happens if a gubernatorial candidate who is campaigning is cursed by his grandmother so that he can't lie? In the midst of an image-filled world, uncontrollable honesty becomes a problem and brings about various chaos.

This unique and tickling premise is the basis of the story of Bapak Paling Jujur (BPJ), the latest comedy film from Cahaya Pictures. After previously presenting the film Pesugihan Sate Gagak, this time Cahaya Pictures again offers comedy that is relevant and close to everyday life in Indonesia.

"There is a longing from all Indonesian people, that we want to have a leader who is honest. This is what I think is the relevance of this film. Mr. The Most Honest talks about honesty in a world full of imagery," said Aoura Lovenson Chandra, Producer of Cahaya Pictures, quoted by VOI from a media broadcast, Sunday, July 5.

The film, which is an adaptation of the Brazilian film, O Candidato Honesto (2014), was directed by Fajar Nugros who previously successfully made various comedy films such as Cinta Brontosaurus, the Yowis Ben series, the film Srimulat, to Seni Memahami Kekasih.

Starring Andovi da Lopez, Claresta Taufan, Soleh Solihun, Nayla D Purnama, Benidictus Siregar, Lolox, Cing Abdel, David Nurbianto, TJ Ruth, Indi Barens, Rizki Muhamad Firman, Adi Har @Mrkeminggris, Jeremy Teti, Elwina (Ceritaibun), Ben Bening, Mieke Shahir, Korban Bank Emok, to the stand-up comedians, Deki Sutrisna, Akim Bagil, Yudha Yudzz, Faizal Wash and Fajar Mukti.

Exactly five years after deciding to end his journey on his YouTube channel on June 24, 2021, Andovi da Lopez is back on the big screen through Bapak Paling Jujur. In this film, he is trusted to play the main character and lead the ensemble cast that presents a mix of actors, comedians, content creators, presenters, and public figures.

Meanwhile, the process of adapting the film's scenario was entrusted to writer Rino Sarjono. To strengthen the humor element, comedian David Nurbianto was not only cast as one of the actors, but was also actively involved behind the scenes as a comedy consultant. In this project, Cahaya Pictures collaborated synergistically with Studio Antelope as a production house partner.

Bapak Paling Jujur is scheduled to be shown in cinemas in the second half of 2026.
