Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez starrer “Dishoom” has been banned in Pakistan after being released globally on Friday, July 29. Dhawan recently tweeted and expressed his annoyance as he believes the Bollywood movie didn’t show any country in a bad light.
According to Indian media reports, Varun, who is seen playing a rookie police officer named Junaid Ansari, took to Twitter on Saturday where he showed disagreement on the "wrong decision" of banning the film.
Varun clarified that Dishoom has nothing against Pakistan but as per the country’s censor board, the film has shown Pakistan in a bad light. Movie revolves around India's top batsman, who goes missing in the Middle East just 36 hours before the final match between Pakistan and India.
Eyebrows were raised in Pakistan after the trailer was released earlier this year.
“Really upset that #Dishoom is banned in pakistan. I don’t think the film eventually shows any country in a bad light. It’s a wrong decision,” he tweeted.
He further said: “I would like to clear this. There is no negative reference against Pakistan or any community… It is a very positive representation. In fact, what we are trying to show is that for certain people money is their religion. It’s not being an Indian, Pakistani, Hindu, Muslim or Christian. In the capitalistic world that we live in, money is the biggest driving force for most crimes.”
The banning of Dishoom in Pakistan will certainly be a loss for the film. Meanwhile, some other reports also state that the movie has got into censor troubles in some Gulf States.
Dishoom is a ‘buddy cop’ film on the lines of Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys.
