JAKARTA - Dian Sastrowardoyo was announced as Dewi Api ahead of the release of the film Sri Asih. This had made a contrast among netizens considering that this film focuses on Pevita Pearce as the main character.

Dian Sastro, who was one of the senior actresses, then became the spotlight when she became Dewi Api. In a press conference with the media, Dian explained that she had never seen a project based on the portion of the story.

Likewise with Dewi Api. Even though he is side by side with Sri Asih, according to her there is no reason to miss the role.

For me, the opportunity for me to become a supporting actor is still a rare opportunity that I don't miss. If I become a support, it is just as noble as the main character," said Dian Sastrowardoyo on Tuesday, November 15.

"Sometimes we become background dancers and instead there is collaborative work," he concluded casually.

Furthermore, Dian Sastro said that each film is not only the result of the hard work of the main character. But as a supporting actor, he also contributed to the success of the film Sri Asih.

"We are all compact in bringing the same story, the story here is Sri Asih, played by Pevita, so it will be even better if we can help Pev's success," said Dian again.

This was also acknowledged by several Sri Asih players who admitted that they also had a pleasant experience in this film. Joko Anwar as the writer and producer revealed that a small portion does not mean that their involvement is also small.

I'm very happy to be involved here in a superhero film. And I love Pevita. Hopefully this is not the end of a superhero film," said Jourdy Pranat.

I can explore my self-defense and only in this film can I do it. Pevita is also a person who learns quickly. It's an honor for me personally," added Randy Pangalila.

In the BCU universe, we view it not as a film that stands alone but as one unit from the first film to the finish line. Characters that appear briefly do not mean that much of him (the role). All players involved in the BCU one day may have their own storytelling," said Joko Anwar.

Apart from Dian Sastrowardoyo and Pevita Pearce, the film Sri Asih stars Jefri Nichol, Christine Hakim, Reza Rahadian, Dimas Anggara, Surya Saputra, Randy Pangalila, Jenny Zhang, Faradina Mufti, Fadly Faisal, Jourdy Pranata, Ario Bayu, Mian Tiara, Aqi Singgih, Revaldo, and Canti Tachril. Sri Asih's film opens in Indonesian cinemas starting November 17, 2022.
