Viu announced the launch of the Viu Original Algrafi movie, adapted from the novel of the same name by Dwi Berliana. The novel has been read more than 28 million times on Wattpad. Algrafi will air exclusively for Indonesia on Viu on June 24, 2024. Toha Essa, Head of Content, Viu, said, “With Viu Originals, we want to touch our consumers more deeply with characters and stories that reflect the lives and aspirations of our viewers.”
“The Algrafi storyline brings a modern perspective to the matchmaking tradition found in Indonesia. With a compelling story and prominent stars, the movie is expected to not only entertain but also spur discussions about friendship and the consequences of arranged marriages, much like our previous Viu Original, Private Bodyguard, which tackled the important topic of bullying.”
Megan Domani who previously starred in Viu Original Bad Boys vs Crazy Girls and Junior Robert from Viu Original Private Bodyguard star as the lead characters, supported by Slamet Rahardjo and Carmela van der Kruk.
Algrafi also involves a number of well-known names in the Indonesian film industry, such as producer Sentot Sahid, screenwriter Dono Indarto, and director Rully Mana. The movie tells the story of Algrafi (Junior Robert) who is forced to return to Indonesia from the United States and becomes involved in an arranged marriage with Naya (Megan Domani).
Algrafi and Naya, who have a love-hate relationship since childhood, each use unique ways to thwart the marriage. Eventually, they realize that they need to work together. Will Algrafi and Naya succeed or end up falling in love? Algrafi will exclusively launch on Viu’s new Premium+ tier.
