JAKARTA - Top actress Dian Sastrowardoyo took a big step in her career through the film "Esok Tanpa Ibu". Not only acting as the main actor, he also made his debut as a producer with his new production house, Bikin Film.
"This is the first film where I finally dared to take on two roles; both as a mother here as an actor, but also as a producer," said Dian in South Jakarta, Monday, December 15.
Carrying out two roles at once is recognized as a challenge that is not easy. He must be able to divide the focus between the creative needs as an actor and the managerial responsibilities as a producer.
The challenge as an actor is no less heavy. In this film, Dian must play two versions of the character Mother: the human version that is alive and the "AI Mother" version which is a digital replica.
"It's interesting because in this story I also practice acting in two roles: a living mother and a mother as 'AI Mother'," he explained.
To be able to delve into the character as an AI, Dian did a unique research. He admitted that he often talked to the AI virtual assistant on his phone.
English:
"I finally became honest so I often talk to the AI on my cellphone," he said.
"So I got used to the intonation of the AI," he continued.
He also revealed that the character "AI Mother" will undergo some evolution in the film. Starting from the rigid version 1.0, to the 3.0 version that looks very much like a human.
The film Esok Tanpa Ibu tells the story of Rama (Ali Fikry) who is not in line with his father (Ringgo Agus Rahman), and is only close to his mother (Dian Sastrowardoyo) must face a difficult situation when his mother falls into a coma.
When he started to fall apart, Rama found unexpected help in i-BU: an AI created by his friend that allows Rama to see faces, voices, and even makes the AI a tool to stimulate his mother's brain work. Can Rama treat loneliness and cure his mother through AI assistance?
The film is scheduled to be released on January 22, 2026.
