Blackout Of Bollywood Movies In Pakistan On Eid

Mumbai: It has come to the notice of media that exhibitors and distributors in Pakistan have decided to clamp down the flicks of Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar on Eid in August.
Chennai Express, starring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and Once Upon A Time in Mumbai Again, starring Akshay Kumar and Imran Khan are panned to line up at box office on August 8 but they will remain unreleased in Pakistan.
Pakistanis have deliberately planned to clamp down the Bollywood flicks because deep within they know that Bollywood films will snatch away the crowd towards the Indian big banner films and the Pakistanis won't succeed in promoting their movies on the propitious festive season of Eid.
Tanuj Garg, CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures (producers of Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai Again), was quoted as saying, "Though we have not yet received any official notification from the Pakistani authorities, if this is true, it will surely be really sad. In fact I feel that this is really amazing and bizarre that an industry that thrives on Bollywood films can take such a decision. If you look at the Pakistani market there has been a revival, thanks to Bollywood films. But all the same, if we do receive a notification, we will need to discuss this matter, since you cannot just blackout any film for your indigenous cinema, though you have all the right to revive it through better means."
Well, Bollywood will culminate in a loss because of the banned films as it earns a decent chunk from the oversea collection from Pakistan where Hindi films are appreciated.
The blackout will ensure a loss for the Pakistani exhibitors as well.
Sources tell that that there has so far, not been any official confirmation of the blackout of Akshay Kumar and Shahrukh Khan's Eid releases in Pakistan by the authorities there.
In the past, Bollywood films like Ek Tha Tiger and Agent Vinod have faced ban in Pakistan but the reason was entirely different. It was alleged that these films portray Pakistani spy agencies in poor light.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali in no mood to make Bajirao Mastani?

Rumours have filled the air since the last couple of days that ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has finally made up his mind to revive his ambitious project Bajirao Mastani, that too with Shah Rukh Khan on his board. But now every ray of hope has been tarnished as the entire buzz has emerged as mere rumours and nothing else.

It was also heard that Bollywood’s two leading heroines Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone were also approached for the long-awaited project but as latest reports have come into light, the filmmaker has also denied those reports as absolute rumours. To make his denial more convincing the filmmaker also insisted that presently he is not thinking about anything else rather than Deepika-Ranveer Singh starrer Ram Leela as he is giving his everything to this project only, as of now.

Let’s wait and watch out for more about Bajirao Mastani, which has been one of the most talked about projects in the industry, recently.
