As relations between India and Pakistan have steadily worsened in the light of the Uri attacks that left 18 of our military personnel dead, news emerged that the upcoming Bollywood film, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story‘, would not be released in Pakistani theatres. It seems that Pakistani organisations have called for the film to be boycotted.
At this point it is conjectured that the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s call for a ban on Pakistani artistes in India could be the trigger for the move to not screen ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ in Pakistan.
A report in a leading daily stated that IMGC Global Entertainment, a Pakistan-based distribution company was supposed to release the film across the border. However, the firm has now decided against exhibiting the film “amid current tension between the two countries”.
