Patna, (Bihar Times): The ban imposed by the Bihar Jharkhand Motion Pictures Association on films having Mithun Chakravorty as a hero started having its impact on these two states. His latest film, My Name Is Anthony Gonzalves, released on Friday all over the country could not be screened anywhere in these two states.

It needs to be mentioned that the BJMPA imposed ban on films starring Ravi Kishan and Mithun in protest against their stand on the Bhojpuri film industry. The BJMPA leader Dr Sunil Kumar, who is also the Janata Dal (United) MLA, even had a war of words with the BJP MP and cinestar, Shatrughan Sinha, on the issue.

The Mumbai-based Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) also warned the Bihar and Jharkhand Motion Pictures Association’s executive committee member, Dr Sunil Kumar, to mend his ways otherwise no Hindi film will be released in Bihar and Jharkhand.
