Nepal Court Lifts Ban on ‘Adipurush’

Kathmandu: A Nepal court lifted the ban on Hindi films, including Prabhas-starrer “Adipurush”, asking authorities not to halt the screening of any movie passed by the country’s censor board.

A dialogue of “Adipurush”, in which Sita is mentioned as “India’s daughter”, had led to the ban on all Hindi films, which was announced by Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah.

Shah on Thursday said he is ready to face any punishment but will not allow the film’s screening as the matter pertains to “Nepal’s sovereignty and independence”.
