Malaysian filmmaker and popular YouTube personality Namewee is seeking for a RM3.5 million compensation for his film "Banglasia" which had been banned in Malaysia back in 2014 due to its content.
Namewee said that before he started shooting the film, he had first sent the script to the Malaysian Film Censorship Board (LPF) and received approval from them.
However, after he finished producing the film which had cost him RM3.5 million to make, "Banglasia" was banned from any form of screening in Malaysia.
Now, according to The China Press, the director is seeking compensation for the RM3.5 million that he has lost.
Back in January 2014, "Banglasia" had received 31 official notes from the Malaysian Censorship Board citing why the movie is unsuitable for local audiences.
According to Namewee, he would have had to reshoot 90 percent of the film to meet approval standards, therefore, due to the overwhelming changes required, Namewee had decided to scrap the film completely.
