Production

Development
"... it was in our small reunion at some time in the month of Ramadhan about two years ago that the idea to do something together again was first brought up. Back then, we were still unclear about what the project would be and yet all of us stayed in touch while maintaining the hopes for a reuniting work. Then the opportunity came when Mieke and I met an investor who happened to be a great fan of Extravaganza and insisted on a movie project that would involve most, if not all, performers of the show. So we went on to establish ASIK Production to turn this movie project into reality"

— Tora Sudiro, on how the idea for the movie was conceived.[4][5]

Filming commenced on February 23, 2015 at GH Universal, a 105-rooms five-stars hotel with Italian-renaissance architecture located in the northern part of Bandung.
