JAKARTA - The film Nagih Promise Cinta, which was broadcast delayed in November 2022, is finally confirmed to premiere on December 8. The film, directed by Riski Balki and producer Agustinus Sitorus, stars Marsha Aruan, Irzan Faiq, Sudjiwo Tejo, Ady Sky, Wanda Hamidah, Christiandi Putra, Frislly Herlind, Ghea Indrawati and many other actors.

The delay in the release of this romantic-comedy genre film is based on the consideration of the production team which assesses the genre of Nagoh Jatuh Cinta is more suitable to be displayed at the end of the year.

"We chose December 8, 2022, as the right time. So that we can both be baper in December and celebrate the end of the year as the right moment to both watch Nagih Janji Cinta," said Agustinus Sitorus at a press conference in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, Thursday, December 1.

Director Riski Baiki, confidently said that what kind of trailer has been shown in the trailer that has been released, the romance shown in the film will be wrapped in a fresh comedy. "Just a trailer has made you baper, what if you go to the cinema later. So you have to watch it so you can both promise love not only a boyfriend but also maybe family," said Baiki in a written release.

In addition to presenting the romance story, Nagih Janji Cinta also displays Indonesian nuances through the Solo election as a film set. Agustinus as the producer also gave the reason.

"We want to show a romantic comedy film but the cultural background feels good. Why did we choose Solo, because at that time Solo was becoming a hype cultural center at that time, and at that time his figure was represented by Mas Gibran (Mayor). On the one hand, film (filming) in Solo is also still quite rare, not rich in Jogja, even though Solo has strong cultural roots," he said.

Simon Siagian as the executive producer assessed that the love story alone is not quite interesting to raise. He wanted something different to be shown outside of the love story itself. There are many romances, that's a 'general genre'. Then what makes people prefer to watch this, if later there are other films that are close to each other and the same genre. But when I heard that Solo will explore culture, related to Solo's injury, now I like something rich like that," he said.

Nagih Janji Cinta itself received full support from the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming. He appreciated and hoped that the public would enjoy this film.

"This project is a collaboration between PIM Pictures and the Surakarta City Government. I am happy that the city of Solo was chosen as a shooting location while still prioritizing local culture. So on the big screen we can watch romance comedy films with the background of tourist locations in the Solo City area. Thank you for entrusting the setting of the film Nagih Janji Cinta in Solo," he said.
