There was a delay in releasing the film in Nepal because the Nepal Censor Board objected to a dialogue that said Goddess Sita was India’s daughter. The board claimed that Sita was born in Nepal. However, the film will now be allowed to screen in Nepal after the makers decided to remove the dialogue. The news hit headlines when Rahul Raut took to Twitter and wrote, “The Nepal government has objected to the scene where the film claims Goddess Sita was the daughter of India, whereas she was actually BORN IN NEPAL. The Censor Board has decided not to release it there until the makers correct the error!”
Minutes later, he posted another tweet that read, “UPDATE!! #Adipurush is now releasing in Nepal… The Nepal censor board has passed the film after the controversial dialogue which claimed ‘Sita is India’s daughter’ was removed from the movie.. The film, however, is still expected to face some backlash in Kathmandu tomorrow!”

Prior to the worldwide theatrical release of the film, the film’s producers organised a special screening event in Mumbai on Thursday night, June 15. The event was exclusively for the film’s cast, crew, and their families. However, the film’s lead actor Prabhas and the antagonist Saif Ali Khan, who portrays the character of Lankesh, were unable to attend due to their hectic schedules.
