The Jakarta Police will begin an investigation into the Indonesian ghost film \u201cMr. Bean\u2019s Possessed by D.P.\u201d next week after a moviegoer filed a complaint saying that the film, which stars a Mr. Bean look-a-like, is deceptive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muhammad Zainal, 29, filed a report with police claiming that the film’s producer KK Dheeraj and star Dewi Persik knowingly deceived Mr. Bean fans by implying that Rowan Atkinson, not a Mr. Bean impersonator, was starring in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cZainal said he watched the movie, thinking it featured [Dewi] and actor Rowan Atkinson. But there was no Rowan at all. <\/strong>Instead there was only someone who looks like Rowan,\u201d Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said in Jakarta on Thursday. “He felt cheated both morally and materially as he spent Rp 35,000 ($4) [on a ticket].”<\/p>\n

The man claimed that Dheeraj violated Indonesia’s consumer protection laws that prohibit false advertising and concealing a hidden defect.<\/p>\n

If convicted, the film’s producer could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison and up to Rp 2 billion in fines. <\/p>\n

The original Mr Bean, a television and film series that brought Atkinson international fame, is popular in Indonesia, where the character is found on mobile phone covers and pencil cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film’s producer said the film did not deceive audiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never wrote Rowan Atkinson\u2019s name on the poster,\u201d he said. \u201cI did not deceive the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dheeraj admitted to the public on Tuesday that the actor who played the Mr. Bean look-a-like was a fellow Englishman named Bill Ferguson.<\/strong><\/p>\n
