Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan set massive records with his last release Dangal which was a biopic on the life of Indian wrestlers Mahavir Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat. Apparently, Dangal was supposed to be released in Pakistan but the Censor board there demanded the cut of two crucial scenes which played the Indian National Anthem and has the National Flag.
Mobashir Hasan, Pakistan’s Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) head, told IANS over social media: “Yes, the board unanimously decided to skip two scenes.”When asked why the Indian flag and anthem needed to be cut, He said: “The decision is the collective wisdom of the board.” He further added that it was now up to the local distributor — Geo Films — to release it or not.
But, Aamir has decided not to release the film without the two scenes. His spokesperson stated that the scenes are crucial for the film and cannot be edited out.
