Sushant
Singh
Rajput
and
Sara
Ali
Khan
starrer
Kedarnath
continues
to
find
itself
in
the
midst
of
controversies
even
as
the
film
hits
the
big
screens
together.
Earlier
on
Thursday,
the
district
magistrates
of
Nainital
and
Udham
Singh
Nagar
had
imposed
a
ban
on
the
screening
of
the
film,
apprehending
disruption
of
law
and
order.
However,
as
per
the
latest
updates,
Uttarakhand
tourism
minister,
Satyapal
Maharaj
has
informed
that
the
film
has
been
banned
in
the
entire
state.
He
was
quoted
as
saying
by
ANI,
"Our
committee
has
forwarded
our
advice
to
CM
&decided
that
law
&
order
should
be
reviewed.We
asked
District
Magistrates
to
maintain
peace
&
everyone
has
decided
that
#Kedarnath
movie
should
be
banned.
The
movie
is
banned
everywhere
in
state."
As
per
a
News18
report,
Satyapal
further
mentioned
that
many
fictitious
incidents
have
been
shown
in
the
movie
that
cannot
be
believed
upon."The
movie
is
not
according
to
our
culture
and
the
film
can
instigate
people,"
he
was
quoted
as
saying.
Earlier,
the
Uttarakhand
High
Court
refused
to
interfere
in
the
matter
rejecting
a
PIL
seeking
a
ban
on
the
film.
Dismissing
the
petition,
a
division
bench
of
Chief
Justice
Ramesh
Ranganathan
and
Justice
Ramesh
Khulbe
had
said
that
a
similar
controversy
surrounding
the
release
of
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Padmavat
had
made
the
film
a
super
hit.
According
to
PTI,
the
state
government
held
a
meeting
chaired
by
Chief
Minister
Trivendra
Singh
Rawat
late
in
the
evening
after
submission
of
a
report
by
the
committee
headed
by
Tourism
minister
Satpal
Maharaj
to
examine
the
objections
to
the
film
and
decided
not
to
declare
an
official
ban
on
it.
But
the
decision
was
left
to
the
district
magistrates
whether
or
not
to
allow
the
screening
of
the
movie
depending
on
the
situation
in
their
respective
areas.
