Soloevent.id – The Indonesian will be colored by the colossal drama genre. Hanung Bramantyo’s latest project entitled Sultan Sultan Agung: Tahta, Perjuangan, dan Cinta Movie is claimed to be the biggest colossal drama film in Indonesia.

From the side of the story and the number of people involved, this will be different from the biography of Hanung’s other work that elevates historical figures such as Soekarno, the Enlightenment, Kartini, and others.

This time, Hanung Bramantyo was interested in raising the story of Sultan Agung’s life into the film because the Islamic Mataram King had the spirit to reunite the archipelago. In addition, Sultan Agung is one of the kings in the archipelago who are most persistent against Dutch colonialism.

Shooting takes place in Gamplong Village, Moyudan District, Sleman Regency. This film script was written by Mooryati Soedibyo, who also became a producer with Ifan Ismail and Bagas Pudjilaksono. Hanung Bramantyo was the director with the co-director with the alias X.Jo.

Sultan Agung: Tahta, Perjuangan, dan Cinta Movie will be released August 24, 2018.

Here’s a spoiler:

After his father, Panembahan Hanyakrakusuma, died, Raden Mas Rangsang (Marthino Lio) who was still a teenager replaced the father’s position and was given the title Sultan Agung Hanyakrakusuma (Ario Bayu).

This is a responsibility that is not easy. Under the banner of Mataram, Sultan Agung had to unite dukes in the land of Java, which were scattered by VOC politics led by Jan Pieterszoon Coen (Hans de Kraker).

Known persistently in his struggle against the invaders, on the other hand Sultan Agung had to sacrifice his true love for Lembayung (Adinia Wirasti) by marrying a noble woman, Ratu Batang (Anindya Putri), which was not his choice.
