Guess what?:  '€˜Si Doel'€™ to be continued, says Rano

J

AKARTA: Actor-cum-politician Rano Karno says he plans to create a new movie and television versions of the much-beloved TV comedy-drama Si Doel Anak Sekolahan (Doel the Schoolkid).

Rano, the star and the producer of the series in the 1990s, said it would not be easy to find the right cast.

Three members of the original television lineup have died, including the Betawi maestro Benyamin Sueb and the comedian Agus Basuki Bin Suwito Hadiwiryono, while Aminah Cendrakasih, 76, who played Doel'€™s mother, is in bad health.

'€œI'€™m not going to replace the cast for Bang Benyamin and Basuki. I don'€™t like fills-in,'€ the incumbent deputy regent of Tangerang told tribunnews.com on Tuesday.

Rano said he was thinking of changing the whole story, starting from Doel'€™s childhood.

'€œI just haven'€™t found a reliable scriptwriter for the task,'€ he said.
