JAKARTA - Actor Rio Dewanto will return to play in the big screen film directed by Visinema Pictures, 13 Bombs in Jakarta. Rio plays Arok, the leader of a terrorist group and has plans to put bombs at 13 points in Jakarta.

On one occasion, Rio Dewanto said his role as a terrorist in this film was a new achievement in his career as an actor.

"If I don't support any form of terrorism at all, but when I was given the challenge to act as a terrorist, this made me an achievement that I have never tried in the world of acting, I have never previously made an offer like this," said Rio Dewanto in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Thursday, October 26.

The 36-year-old admits that he is very excited to play the role of this Arok. The reason, according to Rio, is that the figure of Arok is very complex and clear.

However, it is undeniable that for Rio, the character of Arok is one of the most extreme characters ever played.

"I'm really excited to play this character because it's very complex and not black-and-white like most action film criminals. Even though this character is quite extreme, I believe that acting is a means to explore various aspects of human personality," he concluded.

Apart from Rio Dewanto, this film also stars the cast, whose names are familiar in the acting world such as Chicco Kurniawan, Lutesha, Ardhito Pramono, Putri Ayudya and Ganindra Bimo.

In addition, Niken Anjani, Rukman Rosadi, Andri Mashadi, Muhammad Khan and Aksara Dena were also enlivened. The plan, 13 Bombs in Jakarta will be shown in Indonesian cinemas on December 28, 2023.
