No Mary Kom release in Manipur

The much awaited biopic of Indian boxer Mary Kom starring Priyanka Chopra is all set to release in theatres soon. While the entire nation has given a thumbs up to the trailers and waiting to see the real life story unfold on the big screen, Mary's home town Manipur residents wouldn't be able to watch the movie! The simple reason being Bollywood movies are banned in the state!

In a call given by an extremists group in the year 2000, all Hindi movies were banned in Manipur.

The makers are trying hard to break that jinx. In the words of PeeCee, "Mary is using her might, I'm using mine and the production is using theirs, hope it happens."

An alternate solution would be to dub the movie into Manipuri, let's see what happens..
