Argantara is one of the films that will be shown in theaters at the end of this year. In addition to the early marriage of the two main characters, Argantara (Aliando Syarief) and Syira (Natasha Wilona), this film also features a fight between two motorcycle gangs.
Of the many motorcycle gangs available, Agberos and Baron became two gangs that had fierce feuds. The feud began when the head of the Baron gang, Bara, who was known to be good at motorcycle racing, was defeated by the leadership of the Agberos gang, Arga. Their feud did not only occur during the race, but continued into fierce fights.
Playing the role of members of motorcycle gangs, Argantara cast also shared their experiences which were demanded to be able to ride special motorbikes used for motorcycle racing in films.
Aliando Syarief, who has been acting for more than 13 years, said that playing a role from a motorbike is nothing new for him. Previously, I had already received roles using motorbikes as well, so when I found out that there was a motorcycle gang in Argantara, I wasn't too surprised to light it up either," said Aliando during a visit to VOI, Monday, December 6.
Two other actors, Renald Ramadhan, who played Bara and Ahmad Pule who played Ziko, also shared his experience with motorbikes. Before starring in Argantara, both of them said they had liked the automotive world for a long time. I really like custom motorcycles and also custom motorbikes," said Renald.
"If Pule has always liked motorbikes, he already likes motorbikes from junior high school because he used to have the dream of becoming a motorcycle rider. When he was in Argantara, his motorbike was custom, now Pule was very happy, and wanted to have his own custom motorbike," added Pule.
Meanwhile, other actors admitted that they had to learn first to ride motorbikes, because the motorbikes driven by the two gangs in the Argantara film were not motorbikes that were commonly found on the road.
Jefan Nathanio, who plays a member of the Agberos gang, Aska admitted that he had to learn first, because the motorbike he used to drive was different from the motorbike used in the film.
"In the past, we used automatic motorbikes, but it's impossible if motorcycle gang children ride automatic. We use the coupling (motor) here, so it takes time to learn the coupling because it turns out that the motorbike is driven by a trail and custom motorbike," said Jefan.
Then, Fattah Syach who also plays a member of the Agberos gang, Johan said that he returned to learn to ride a motorcycle to play in this film.
"Actually, I learned first. Before playing the Argantara film, I had a motorbike, but I was on hiatus. Because I went up the coupling, I forgot to bring a motor coupling again in Argantara," said Fattah.
In addition to the five actors above ang who share stories about their experiences with motorbikes, Argantara also stars other young actors, namely Natasha Wilona as Syera, Teuku Rassya as Aldi, Samudra Taylor as Andre, Ryuken Lie as Elang, Midwife Edoarda as Ghea and Shan Ryadi as Pandji. Argantara will premiere in theaters on December 29, 2022.
