Director of the film Laura, Hanung Bramantyo explained the reason he used a wheelchair to a real doll belonging to the late Laura Anna. Hanung said that this is a form of respect for Laura Anna as well as providing energy from Laura herself. "Yes, we want to have a tribute. This is a real seat, this is a genuine doll, so it's really serious because we can present it because Laura herself doesn't exist," said Hanung Bramantyo in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, Monday, September 9th. Apart from being a form of respect, Laura Anna's original goods are also used as a character deepening process for Amanda Rawles who plays Laura Anna. "But there are other objects that are authentic, so let it be to help the actor, help Amanda how she can get closer to Laura," continued Hanung Bramantyo. Amanda Rawles herself feels that playing Laura's character is a challenge for her even though at first she was confused about bringing this character.

"So the process is really interesting, really challenging because the beginning was really blueless, like I felt 'Wow, I don't think I'll be able to get laura' but I'll continue to watch it for a long time," Fortunately, with Kevin Ardilova's support as Jojo, Amanda was finally able to bring Laura's character well. "And there's also a lot of talk with Kevin, right. He said'man, you don't have to think about the shape first, you just feel like you just got it first, you'll definitely follow your own shape'. Then for a long time 'oh, you can also get your voice', then yes, it's really fun," he said.
