T-Series, one of India’s leading music labels and film production
companies, has extended an apology to the Mayor of Kathmandu, Nepal. The
apology comes in the wake of escalating tensions surrounding the movie
“Adipurush,” directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas. The Nepalese
government had imposed a ban on the screening of Hindi movies in the
country until a specific dialogue from Adipurush is removed. The
contentious dialogue in question references Janaki, a revered figure in
Nepal’s mythology, as a daughter of India. T-Series, acknowledging the
sensitivity of the matter, is appealing for the ban to be lifted in order
to resume the film’s release in Nepal.
