Ernest Prakasa Says Film 'TEKA-TEKI TIKA' Inspired by the Social Assistance Corruption Case

Kapanlagi.com - The latest film by Ernest Prakasa titled TEKA-TEKI TIKA will be released in theaters starting from December 23, 2021. Apparently, this mystery-themed film was inspired by Ernest's concern about corruption cases in the country.

"This message comes from my feeling that Indonesians are always forgiving towards corruption. It's quite surprising," said Ernest during the trailer launch of the film TEKA-TEKI TIKA at XXI Metropole, Central Jakarta, on Friday (3/12/2021).

From there, as a father of two children, he thought of expressing his hopes through the film TEKA-TEKI TIKA so that the audience would not underestimate corruption cases in Indonesia.

"But I feel that if someone makes a mistake, if an artist is involved in a scandal, they become the most despicable human being. But why are we so relaxed about corruptors? So I have a message about corruption, what's the connection, let's watch it," said Ernest.
