Reza Arap makes directorial and acting debut in 'Harusnya Horror'

Reza Oktovian, widely known as 'Arap,' has stepped into a new role as director and lead actor for the upcoming horror film 'Harusnya Horror.' This project marks his directorial debut in a feature film, a significant move for the popular YouTuber, musician, and streamer. The film is a collaborative effort between Ess Jay Pictures and AAA Clan.

During a press conference in Jakarta on Monday, July 20, 2026, Oktovian and the film's crew shared their experiences from the production. While Oktovian is no stranger to the entertainment industry, directing a full-length movie was a new challenge. He humorously admitted to not having a formal background in filmmaking but expressed his honor and excitement for the trust placed in him by Ess Jay Pictures.

He believes the film will convey a core message about friendship and connect with its audience through its narrative and dialogue. Producer Sridhar Jetty echoed this sentiment, noting the genuine chemistry among the AAA Clan members, which inspired the idea of bringing their dynamic to the big screen.
