The major blunder of misinterpreting India as Gautham Buddha's birth place by the makers of the 'Chandni Chowk To China' finally gave strength to the Nepal Film Development Board (NFDB).and has made their proposals legitimate.

The several protests against Akshay Kumar's flick have made the rulers of Nepal look into the past proposals of NFDB more seriously and pass a gazette notification.

In the past, NFDB had recommended that the foreign films should go through strict pre- release monitoring procedures as in other parts of the world.

From now onwards the makers of all the foreign films will have to get the clearance from NFDB also.

Earlier only the Censor Board of Nepal had the sole authority to scrutinize the films before giving the go ahead signal.

According to the new rule not only the films but the subject on which the movie is based, the details of the actors, technicians, the producers and the entire screenplay also has to be given to the film clearing bodies in Nepal.

The publicity materials also have not been spared as they will also have to provided for checking to the concerned officers in Nepali before the film gets the permission to be exhibited.
