An actress named Sayani Gupta made her very first short movie, called Aasmani.

Another actress, Revathy, acts in the movie.

The movie was going to be shown at a film festival in New Zealand.

The festival is called The Indian Film Festival of New Zealand.

But the people who run the festival decided to take the movie out of the lineup.

The festival director said the movie was removed just to be careful.

This is happening while some official checks are going on.
