Shahid Kapoor’s latest release ‘Haider’ might not release in Pakistan due to some controversial content.
‘Haider’ is based on Shakespeare’s adaptation of novel ‘Hamlet’ and has been shot in Kashmir. Film doesn’t have the NOC (non objection certificate) to release the movie in Pakistani cinemas yet.
According to local media reports, the film was previewed and was sent to the Censor Board for approval. However after watching Haider’s preview, the body decided not to go ahead with the release because of some controversial elements related to Kashmir.
It is expected that the distributors will not face a loss as they had already anticipated that the film might not release in Pakistan. Earlier, a film based on the Indian Army, ‘Holiday’ was screened in Pakistan but Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ couldn’t make it to the screens because of the portrayal of anti-Pakistan elements, media reported.
Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj of ‘Kaminey’ fame, the movie has been roaring high in India but Pakistani audience won’t be able to watch the movie on big screens.
Along with Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role, the movie also stars Kay Kay Menon and Tabu in the prominent roles.
