fter introducing the four warriors in the highly anticipated Wiro Sableng movie, production company Lifelike Pictures has revealed the warriors set to play the villains.
The villains are Mahesa Birawa, Kalingundil and the Bandits, said to belong to the Black Order.
Played by Yayan Ruhian, Mahesa Birawa is a former student of Sinto Gendeng, who betrayed his mentor. His most powerful trait is the "green centipede blow", making him the most feared enemy from the Black Order. His primary weapons are a thorny chained mace and a two-headed steel stick.
