Unbelievable! ‘M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story’ banned in Pakistan

There is a fresh and quite shocking development in MNS’s attack on Pak artists and asking them to leave India. Apparently, in retaliation, the distributors of the neighbouring country have banned the release of ‘M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story’ which stars Sushant Singh Rajput in the title role of Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The chairman of a Pakistan based distribution company, IMGC Global Entertainment, said, “Amid current tension between the two countries, we have decided not to release the film,” It is to be noted that for Bollywood, Pakistan is the third highest overseas market. This ban will surely have a negative impact on the promotions.

We all are aware of the Uri attacks that left 18 Indian soldiers dead, and the aftermath too which included the infamous ban that MNS has put over Pakistani artists. To refresh your memory, the Sena apparently wants the parts shot by Pak actors in their respective Bollywood movies to be chopped off too. This is directed mainly towards Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ which feature Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan respectively.

Where will this blind hatred take us, no one knows. We sincerely hope that the martyrs get their due, but in a way so the people responsible for this uncalled for attack are punished, and not the artists who only entertain us and have no part in the terrorist activities.
