Sita Ramam is one of the most-talked movies in recent times. Starring Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur, the romantic period drama is up for a grand release in theatres worldwide on August 5, 2022.

But to the shock of DQ fans, the movie is banned in Gulf countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE. Though the exact reason for this is yet to be known, it is assumed that the ban is in place on grounds that it will hurt religious sentiments.

It is reported that the makers have applied for a re-censoring of the film. The move is expected to be a huge blow as the Gulf countries are a huge market for Dulquer Salmaan's films. His last movie Kurup also was a great hit in the gulf countries.

Star-studded with actors like Bhumika, Rashmika Mandanna, Tharun Bhascker, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sumanth, Murali Sharma, Shatru and others, Sita Ramam is backed by Swapna Cinema.
