Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah on Thursday announced a ban of Hindi films from screening in Nepal's capital until a portion of the dialogue is removed from the film Adipurush, a retelling of the epic Ramayana. The film, directed by Om Raut, stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh
    
Mayor Shah has given a three-day deadline to make the changes.
    
"Until the line 'Janaki is a daughter of India' contained in the South Indian film Adipurush is removed not just in Nepal but also in India, no Hindi films will be allowed to run in Kathmandu Metropolitan City," Shah wrote on his Facebook wall.
    
The film is set to be screened in Nepal on Friday. However, Nepal's Film Censor Board has said that it has given permission to release the film only after cutting the portion of dialogue that describes Sita as the daughter of India.
