Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy, starring Keerthy Suresh, has hit Indian theatres but is reportedly facing a setback in Malaysia. The film, which premiered internationally earlier this month, has been generating attention over its content. As it began its theatrical run in India on September 25, reports emerged that its release in Malaysia may have been halted.

Dorothy halted in Malaysia

According to a report by The Hindu Tamil, Dorothy has reportedly been denied a theatrical release in Malaysia. The report cited LGBTQ-related content and same-sex attraction depicted in the film’s narrative among the reasons for the reported setback. However, these details are based on media reports, and an official Malaysian censorship order has not been cited in the available information. Therefore, the exact reason for the reported denial remains unconfirmed.
