Adipurush is finally scheduled to be released in theatres worldwide, including Nepal, on Friday, today. It stars the Prabhas as Lord Ram or protagonist Raghava, and is directed by the National award-winning filmmaker Om Raut. The gorgeous Kriti Sanon portrays the character of Sita, also known as Janaki, in the film.
For the unversed, there was a delay in releasing the film in Nepal because the Nepal Censor Board objected to a dialogue that said Goddess Sita was India’s daughter. The members of board claimed that Sita was born in Nepal. However, Adipurush will now be allowed to screen in Nepal after the makers of the film decided to remove the dialogue. The news hit headlines when Rahul Raut took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, “The Nepal government has objected to the scene where the film claims Goddess Sita was the daughter of India, whereas she was actually BORN IN NEPAL. The Censor Board has decided not to release it there until the makers correct the error!”
Rahul posted another tweet that read, “UPDATE!! #Adipurush is now releasing in Nepal… The Nepal censor board has passed the film after the controversial dialogue which claimed ‘Sita is India’s daughter’ was removed from the movie.. The film, however, is still expected to face some backlash in Kathmandu tomorrow!”
Have a look
