The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has addressed the backlash over a movie poster showing actresses robbing a bank while wearing niqabs.

The poster sparked outrage among Muslims, leading the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) to demand a ban on the film, calling it “satanic.”

In response, the NFVCB clarified that the film is still in production and has not been submitted for classification. The board assured the public that the producers are working to address the concerns raised.

The NFVCB emphasized its commitment to not overlook creative works that abuse or undermine religious, cultural, and ethnic sensibilities.

The NFVCB’s statement reads: “Our check revealed that the movie has not been released, and it has not been submitted to the NFVCB for classification as required by law and our mandate.
