ctor Baim Wong will play Indonesia's first president Sukarno in Film Soekarno, directed by Viva Westi.
Baim said that after getting the role, he immediately started researching about the late president.
'I don't know anything about Sukarno, I don't know anything about [the] Independence either,' he said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Baim read a lot of books about Sukarno to learn about his personality.
'When I finished reading, I wanted to know more about him,' he said.
Film Soekarno tells the story of Sukarno's days in exile in Ende, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Production for the film is slated to begin on Sept. 28 in Ende.
