Tiger Zinda Hai not cleared by Pakistan; Gets UA certification in India!

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif ’s upcoming film Tiger Zinda Hai has been making news for all the right reasons. The makers are revealing interesting information and promo outings, making the wait even more fun! Now, the latest update claims that the film has been cleared with U/A certification by the CBFC which is good news for the makers. Along with this news, it has also been revealed that the film has not been passed in Pakistan.

Pakistan Censor board chairman Mobasher Hasan revealed to The Express Tribune that Tiger Zinda Hai has been refused NOC for the release in their country. He said in a statement, “Tiger Zinda Hai has been refused the NOC, citing the same reason as the first instalment of the franchise. The image of Pakistan and its law enforcement agencies has been compromised.”

Sulaiman S. Lalani, Executive Director, Geo TV Network, is disheartened and disappointed with this development as the team was to distribute the film in Pakistan. He said, “Our preferred option was that Tiger Zinda Hai should have been allowed for import, presented to censor board, and if any objectionable material was found against the interests of Pakistan/ Islam, exhibition of the film shouldn’t have been allowed then. 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.”

Presented by Yash Raj Films, this Ali Abbas Zafar ’s directorial action-drama Tiger Zinda Hai is all set to hit the silver screens on December 22, 2017.
