Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger Zinda Hai was passed by the Indian Censor Board recently with a UA certificate. However, the film struggles to get a release in Pakistan as Pakistan's Central Board of Film Censor Chairman Mobasher Hasan told a leading news agency that the movie has been refused NOC.
"Tiger Zinda Hai has been refused the NOC, citing the same reason as the first installment of the franchise. The image of Pakistan and its law enforcement agencies has been compromised," said Mobasher Hasan. The distributors in Pakistan are clearly not happy with the decision.
"In fact, if there was anything against the national interests of Pakistan in the film, we ourselves wouldn't have sought the exhibition but this could have been done only after preview of the film," he added. Sulaiman is yet to hear from the administration. Meanwhile, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger Zinda Hai's trailer has left everyone impressed with all background scores and action-packed sequences. The two will be seen reuniting on the silver screen after five years.
Talking about Salman's glory on the big screen, Tiger Zinda Hai's director Ali Abbas Zafar in an interview, said, "The moment he lifts his eyes and looks at you, you are surely going to fall in love with him." Tiger Zinda Hai releases on December 22, 2017
