It came as a shock to many Malaysians when Kadaram Kondan movie distributor, Lotus Five Star, made a last-minute announcement that the movie will not be released in Malaysia as per the instructions given by the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia.

For months, Malaysians were excitedly waiting for the movie’s release, as it had been mostly shot in Malaysia.

Now, a representative of Lotus Five Star finally revealed the reason behind the movie ban here.

According to the spokesperson, the movie’s makers failed to get necessary police permits to shoot some of the movie scenes in Malaysia, which is considered illegal. As per the law, movie crews need to get permission before shooting to avoid such problems.
