At the end of 2012 Rahadian played former president B.J. Habibie in Faozan Rizal's biopic Habibie & Ainun, which followed the romance between Habibie and his future wife Ainun (played by Bunga Citra Lestari). In a review, Prathivi wrote that Rahadian had given a "flawless" representation of the former president and his mannerisms.[9]
