Akshay Kumar Starrer 'Baby' Banned in Pakistan

Jan 23,2015

Islamabad, Jan 23 (IANS) Bollywood's latest offering "Baby" has been banned in Pakistan, owing to its controversial content and Pakistani nationals being portrayed as terrorists on a wider canvas.

According to the Dawn, a representative of the film's distributor, Everready Pictures shared the news about the film being banned in Karachi and Islamabad.

“Censor boards in Islamabad and Karachi have decided to ban the film because it portrays a negative image of Muslims and the negative characters in the film also have Muslim names," the Dawn said.

“CDs and DVDs of the film have also been banned in Islamabad. The company has taken a similar stance on this issue and will not go-ahead with its release,” the newspaper quoted the representative as saying.

The Neeraj Pandey film was released in India Friday with critics calling it an “edge-of-the-seat thriller”.

The movie revolves around an undercover unit, formed to keep an eye on the movements of terrorist groups and to nix their plans to disrupt peace and harmony. The film also stars Rana Daggubati, Danny Denzongpa, Anupam Kher and Taapsee Pannu.

And from across the border, the film features Pakistani actor Mikaal Zulfiqar and Rasheed Naz.

The film, which was set to release Jan 23 across Pakistan, has been removed from the websites of cinemas in Karachi, which has added to the speculation of film's screening.
