Production
Kartini is the second film to be produced by Robert Ronny's Legacy Pictures.[1] Hanung Bramantyo is the director and a co-writer since the beginning of the project with the help of Bagus Bramanti to write the screenplay and Robert Ronny himself got involved in a story development of the film.
The title role is played by a citra award winner, Dian Sastrowardoyo. Other actors and actresses joined the cast, including Christine Hakim as M.A. Ngasirah (Kartini's mother), Deddy Sutomo as R.M. Sosroningrat (Kartini's father), Djenar Maesa Ayu as R.A. Moeryam (Kartini's step mother), Acha Septriasa, Ayushita and Adinia Wirasti as Roekmini, Kardinah and Soelastri (Kartini's sisters), Reza Rahadian and Denny Sumargo as Sosrokartono and Slamet (Kartini's brothers), Dwi Sasono as Raden Joyodiningrat (Kartini's husband).
Hanung chose Dian, Ayushita, and Acha to portray the major roles mainly because of their popularity and charisma among Indonesian females, along with their concerns regarding women issues making them the perfect choices for the roles. According to Ronny, Dian is the first and only choice to portray the heroine, stating it would be hard to make the film had she not accepted the role.[2]
