“After that, I went to college, and tried doing commercials first, because while studying, I also looked for pocket money through FTV during college breaks,” Hana continued.
From the world of modeling, then becoming a commercial star, followed by acting in FTV, and finally regularly landing roles in feature films, this is the story of Hana Malasan’s career journey.

Hana Malasan’s Career Journey
Hana Malasan’s hometown is in Bandung. However, she was born in Tokyo, Japan, and lived there for some time. Quoted from Pop Mama, until today, Hana still occasionally visits Japan because her older sister resides in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Armed with modeling experience and having been a finalist in Gadis Sampul, after graduating from high school, Hana began exploring opportunities in the entertainment world by participating in FTV stripping while in college. She stole time between classes to earn extra pocket money.
There are more than 20 titles of FTV that she starred in from 2011 to 2017. The first one is titled Kerudung Cinta Raja Dogar (2011) and the last one is Lapis Legit Bikin Kangen (2017). During that period, Hana also had the opportunity to appear in several soap operas, such as OK-JEK as Cindy and Catatan Si Boy the Series as Nuke.
Although her face now frequently appears in cinemas, that position was not achieved instantly like flipping a hand. Hana once worked in an office between 2013-2014 as a business development intern and account executive.
While shooting FTV and soap operas, she also went back and forth to auditions, but her opportunity to act in a feature film never came. Hana admitted that she had to go through at least 20 casting trials before landing a role in the film Night Bus. (2017).
Her debut film was quite successful. Night Bus received 11 nominations at the 2017 Indonesian Film Festival (FFI) and successfully returned with 6 awards, including the Best Feature Film category. Through that thriller genre film, Hana’s path in the Indonesian film industry began to open up.
Recently, Hana Malasan was entrusted to portray the character Hanif in the film Sorop produced by MD Pictures. The film, adapted from an unfinished thread by SimpleMan, tells the story of siblings who are terrorized when they return to their childhood home in their hometown.
