Malaysian Censor Board has banned Bollywood movie Padmaavat.
According to the Free Malaysia Today, Malaysia’s National Film Censorship Board (LPF) has barred filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’ from getting released in the country.
LPF chairman Mohd Zamberi Abdul Aziz while talking to the Free Malaysia Today said “The storyline of the film touches on the sensitivities of Islam. That in itself is a matter of grave concern in Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country,”
Currently, LPF is unable to provide further comments as the film distributor has submitted an appeal to the appeals committee.Therefore, further comments will only be issued after the appeals committee has made its decision,” Aziz said.
