Safira Ratu Sofya, an Indonesian actress and model, became one of the hottest search engine trends in Indonesia after a hot discussion about her upcoming horror movie Dosa Penebusan that has gone viral on search engines such as Google.
Things went awry after production house HAS Pictures sent a formal legal warning for the 22-year-old actress. The producers say Ratu Sofya, despite her contractual obligations, refused to join the promotion for the movie.
Pengampunan, which is also known as the psychological horror movie, is set to be released in the theatres on the 11th of June, 2026. But, rather than discussions on the film’s story, it has been a matter of ‘legal fights, rough stuff in the family and allegations of adult scenes’ in the film.
The Main Conflict Between Ratu Sofya and HAS Pictures
The drama apparently erupted when Ratu Sofya complained she did not want to see some of the intimate moments in the final cut of the film. Her lawyers said she no longer wished to do media tours or social promotions associated with the project.
In the interim, HAS Pictures refuted claims that the scenes were degrading. The makers of the picture stated that the scenes were explained during the casting process and were vital to the psychology of the film.
A professional body double allegedly was used on sensitive scenes, the producers added. The scenes were meant to be allusive in nature and not pornographic or sexual in nature,” they said in their statement.
Viral Family Dispute Added Fuel to the Drama
The debate took a more emotional edge only after reports came in that Ratu Sofya had sent a legal warning to her own mother named Intan Masthura.
The original acting contract for the film was reportedly signed a number of years ago by her father while she was young enough still to be “under management”. Due to this deal, they’re said to have been transferred directly to her mother and father.
Presumedly, Ratu Sofya asked that future payments should not go to her family, but straight to her, currently alone, and mates with actor Cornelio Sunny.
This fight only started to get even more heated when her mother gave an emotional interview that went viral online. In the emotional video, her mother publicly apologized to the actors of the video and urged her to make peace with her family.
How the Public Reacted Online?
Not long after, Indonesian media users got polarized into several groups. A few supporters attacked Ratu Sofya, claiming that actors must set their own limits when it comes to love scenes and advertisements.
There were complaints from other actors who felt the actress was in breach of the professional contract, as work was already done. Multiple entertainment bloggers also debriefed whether the situation could have been taken care of privately rather than it making a public issue.
The situation has now turned into the biggest entertainment controversy in Indonesia ahead of the movie release season in the middle of June 2026.
