 Mega Mendoeng was released in early 1942 , the seventh and final film completed by Union . With a Japanese invasion looming , the February 1942 edition of the film magazine Pertjatoeran Doenia dan Film reported that several studios would move away from the colonial capital of Batavia or go on a production hiatus . Union , though already beginning production of a film set in the Majapahit era titled Damar Woelan , was forced to close shop ; it never reopened . Soekarno returned to the film industry in the 1950s and was active until the 1970s , mostly credited as Rendra Karno .
