Iqbaal Ramadhan Says Film Stealing Raden Saleh Is Not Just About Robbery

Players Steal Raden Saleh (VOI)

JAKARTA - Iqbaal Ramadhan became one of the players in the film Steal Raden Saleh. As Piko, he is required to be able to paint in order to explore the characters in the film directed by Angga Dwimas Sasongko.

“This is one of the most distant characters from the life of an Iqbaal. Same college but different majors. Piko is an art student,” said Iqbaal in a press conference on Wednesday, June 29.

“Every one of us here has the opportunity to do something we never imagined. But we need a trigger to do that, including stealing Raden Saleh," he explained.

Seen in the trailer, Piko's figure is The Forger or a forger. He was also happy because he finally learned art more deeply thanks to his character.

“Art is the furthest away from me. I grew up with music then movies. Fine art is often exposed, but I don't know. Because of this film, I became curious about art,” explained the Svmmerdose member.

It's not just about stealing, Iqbaal Ramadhan emphasizes that there is a big message in the film Stealing Raden Saleh. He said the characters and stories would relate to today's youth.

"Three years I've been told the premise. Up to 17 (draft scripts) of every change that has been experienced, what made me survive is because (this film) represents young people in Indonesia who exist but are forgotten," said Iqbaal.

"So (this film) is not just about stealing. I think it's quite relatable to today's children," he said.

Iqbaal Ramadhan's action as Piko can be seen through the film Stealing Raden Saleh, which will air from August 22, 2022 in Indonesian cinemas.
