Kathmandu

Kathmandu. It has been revealed that a scene depicting artists being arrested during the promotion of the Nepali film 'Kakakiki' was created and made public. The production team has given an explanation after the video, which was presented as a real arrest during the film's trailer launch event, went viral.

There is criticism on social media that the scene, created to promote the film by taking artists into police custody, was presented as a real incident. Voices have also been raised that such activities should not be taken as a joke and that those who spread misinformation should be punished.

Meanwhile, Maya Entertainment Studio Pvt. Ltd. has clarified by writing a letter to the District Police Complex, Kathmandu, stating that the scene was a fictional scene created according to the film's storyline.

According to the production company, the scene was created with permission from the police during the filming and promotion of the film. The same scene was re-presented at the trailer launch event.

The company has stated that no artist, director, or filmmaker was actually arrested. It has also expressed a commitment to coordinate with the relevant bodies and ensure necessary clarity in future promotional activities. Earlier, misleading publicity was spread that artists like Gauri Malla were arrested.
