Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Indonesian Film Board Mr. Gunawan Paggaru told about how until finally, he chose five figures as recipients of Star of fame from Jababeka Movieland. He said that “When I was asked to recommend names that needed to be appreciated by Jababeka Movieland, the consideration was to have achievements that could not be debated. And it is these five recipients that I think can be worthy of the Star of fame.

In the future, (I hope) today’s event can be one of the triggers for other friends, that when they have achievements, there will be people appreciating those achievements. That’s also one of our tasks actually. And, Jababeka Movieland’s efforts, including lightening our duties. Therefore, I appreciate Jababeka’s move.”

According to him, the step of appreciating Indonesian actors, actresses and directors through the Star of fame program is very good.

“Jababeka has provided extraordinary facilities. Plus, now there is Sandiaga Uno, our hero. But, it should be underlined, this is not Hollywood, this is Cikarang wood. Because I imitate Hollywood, it’s a shame, but if it’s inspired, it’s okay. this will indeed be our village (our cinema): Cikarang,” said Slamet Rahardjo Djarot.
