Nepal bans screening of Hindi films due to Adipurush. Adipurush is having adverse effects in most of the regions. It is known that Nepal already objected to the makers depicting Sita born in India. Now it is coming out that Nepal has decided to stop the screening of all Hindi films.
Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah defended the ban on all Hindi films in the Kathmandu Metropolitan area. He said "Screening of all the Hindi films will be barred within Kathmandu Metropolitan City from Monday, June 19, as the objectionable words in the dialogue of the film Adipurush' has not yet been removed, "
He added "We have already issued notice three days ago to remove the objectionable portion of the dialogue that 'Sita is India's daughter' from the movie within three days,
He added if Adipurush screening is allowed then it would cause "irreparable damage to our nationality, cultural unity" and deal a "blow to our national heroes." He said ""All the cinema halls in Kathmandu will stop showing Indian films from Monday as per the instruction issued by the KMC".
