KARACHI: Government of Sindh Tuesday banned screening of director Aashir Azeem’s debut movie ‘Maalik’ for having some controversial dialogues against Chief Minister Sindh, but reserved its decision shortly after news broke into media.
Talking to media, Azeem told that a few ministers in the Sindh cabinet expressed displeasure over the movie, which was also reflected in their messages on micro-blogging site Twitter.
He went on to say that at first he received a phone call from the Censor Board asking him to replace the word chief minister or CM with a “beep” in the entire flick.
Sindh Government Put BAN On Movie ‘Maalik… by sm_raza1
The Dhuwwan-famed actor-cum-director said that today he received a letter from the Censor Board apprising him of banning Maalik in the province.
He regretted that the movie is being screened in cinemas everywhere across the country and no other province has raised objections over the usage of above mentioned words.
The provincial government, soon after the news flashed on media, retreated from its decision of prohibiting the screening.
On the other hand, Bollywood’s anti-Pakistan movie ‘Phantom’ director Kabeer Khan was warmly welcomed in Karachi and was given VIP treatment and special security by sindh govt when he visited Karachi.
