Malaysia bans Padmaavat owing to "sensitivities of Islam"
Malaysia has banned the release of 'Padmaaavat' in the country as "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," said Malaysia's National Film Censorship Board (LPF) chairman Mohd Zamberi Abdul Aziz. The film's distributor in Malaysia is expected to appeal against the decision.
