The
movie
Mary
Kom
starring
Priyanka
Chopra
has
released
across
the
nation
but
the
film
is
yet
to
release
in
the
boxer's
home-state
itself.
Boxing
champion
M.C.
Mary
Kom's
husband
Onler
has
joined
forces
with
Mary
Kom
co-producers
Viacom18
Motion
Pictures
to
ensure
that
the
biopic
on
his
wife
gets
released
in
their
home
state
Manipur.
Hindi
films
are
not
being
shown
in
Manipur
for
the
last
few
years
reportedly
due
to
threats
by
some
militant
outfits.
Even
though
the
film
couldn't
be
released
in
the
state
when
it
released
elsewhere
Friday,
efforts
are
on
for
at
least
a
couple
of
screenings
in
Imphal.
Onler
has
been
trying
to
make
it
possible
himself.
"We've
been
working
directly
with
Manipur
Chief
Minister
Okram
Ibobi
Singh's
office
and
have
all
their
support.
We've
done
our
best
to
get
the
release
in
Manipur.
Onler
has
also
been
very
helpful
in
trying
to
get
the
release.
Let's
see
where
we
end
up
finally," said
Ajit
Andhare,
chief
operating
officer,
