Renowned actor Ringgo Agus Rahman has once again made headlines, securing the coveted Best Leading Actor award at the prestigious Festival Film Indonesia (FFI) 2025. His remarkable performance saw him triumph over a formidable lineup of nominees, including industry heavyweights such as Arswendy Bening Swara, Morgan Oey, Dion Wiyoko, and Nicholas Saputra, solidifying his position as a leading talent in the Indonesian film landscape.
This significant victory for Ringgo Agus Rahman was attributed to his compelling role in the film Panggil Aku Ayah (Call Me Father), a compelling production from Visinema. The critically acclaimed movie was helmed by acclaimed director Benni Setiawan, whose vision brought Ringgo’s character to life with depth and nuance.
Visibly stunned upon hearing his name announced as the winner, Ringgo openly admitted his disbelief at receiving the esteemed accolade again. During his emotional acceptance speech, he shared his overwhelming feelings: “Why do I say this is excessive? Because I genuinely never thought I would experience something like this in my lifetime, and now it feels truly overwhelming. I’m not sure how to compose myself.”
Adding a touch of humor to the memorable evening, Ringgo playfully expressed regret for not having insisted his wife accompany him to the ceremony. He quipped that for the second consecutive year, his wife was not present to witness him claim the Best Leading Actor award. “If I had known I would win, I would have brought my wife. I would have forced her, because last year my wife didn’t come either, and she’s probably sleeping right now,” he joked, drawing laughter from the appreciative audience.
Beyond his personal remarks, Ringgo extended heartfelt gratitude to all individuals and entities who played a crucial role in the creative process of the film. He acknowledged their invaluable contributions, stating, “I couldn’t have received this trophy without the trust and support from Visinema, CJ Pictures, Anggia, Novi, Angga, my director Benni Setiawan, Boris, Tissa Biani, and Pacil, who also shaped me in that film.”
Concluding his speech, Ringgo reiterated his profound appreciation for the FFI 2025, emphasizing the immense personal significance of the moment. “Thank you once again to FFI 2025; truly, this is overwhelming for me, and I will certainly cherish this moment forever,” he asserted.
This latest triumph marks a remarkable continuation of Ringgo’s success story. Just last year, Ringgo Agus Rahman earned his first Citra Award for Best Leading Actor for his captivating performance in Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film. His back-to-back wins in the same category underscore his consistent excellence and profound impact on the Indonesian film industry.
