As protests continued to erupt on the streets of Kathmandu on Thursday over Bollywood's first Kung fu comedy Chandni Chowk to China, cinemas in Nepal stopped screening the controversial film, saying they had replaced it with other films.All Kathmandu valley cinemas, from multiplexes like Jai Nepal, Kumari, Gopi Krishna and Barahi, to smaller ones like Guna and Ashta Narayan, hurriedly dropped the Akshay Kumar-Deepika Padukone starrer and began showing the earlier Bollywood release Ghajini or waited for another Bollywood film Raaz… to be released on Friday.The decision, that would cost the distributors of the films millions of rupees, was taken after angry protests began over the erroneous claim in the film that the Buddha, Nepal's best-known religious icon, was born in India.
