Ernest Prakasa, producer of the film under Imajinari, celebrated the milestone on social media. “I dedicate this achievement to the entire crew and cast who poured their skills into this work. Congratulations, friends, we’ve made history. Thank you, Indonesian moviegoers. Thank you very much,” Ernest wrote on Instagram on Friday, December 2, 2026.
