‘My Name is Anthony Gonsalves’ banned in Bihar

Pictures are taken from Royal E. Niwas on-release film ‘My Name is Anthony Gonzalves’ has been banned in Bihar. The reason being an ongoing tussle between the actor, Mithun Chakraborty, and a local producer -distributor, due to which Mithun da’s films are banned in Bihar. Mithun plays a priest in the film.

The dirft dates back to the time when Dada’s Bengali film entitled ‘Coolie’ was dubbed into Bhojpuri without the actor’s consent and by using someone else’s voice in dubbed Bhojpuri film. The incensed actor retaliated by refusing to return money paid as signing amount for another proposed film to be made by the same Bihari producer-distributor.

Niwas is obviously disturbed and says, “I had no clue about Mithun-da’s ban in Bihar. It seems so strange to be kept out of the state where my first film Shool was set. I really wouldn’t want Anthony Gonzalves to be be kept out of Bihar. But I don’t know how I can help the situation.”magazine
