on Sep 28, 2016
MS Dhoni biopic, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story might not be played on screen in Pakistan. Days after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena asked Pakistani actors to leave India, Pakistani distributors have decided not to release the movie on the Indian ODI captain. A source from the exhibition industry in Pakistan says, "The film does not feature in the programming list since no distributor wants to bring it here." A Pakistan-based distribution company, was supposed to release the film, but its chairman says, "Amid current tension between the two countries, we have decided not to release the film." adds Indianfilms do brisk business across the border and Pakistan is emerging as the third highest overseas market for Bollywood, say trade insiders. "But, this development (boycott of Dhoni) will affect the business," adds the insider. The Lahore High Court also saw a petition filed on September 23, calling for a ban on all Indian films till the Kashmir issue is resolved, reports said.
