Pakistan Bans Bangistan

After Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, it is Bangistan, which has landed up in trouble from Pakistan. Even before the release of the film, the country has announced to ban the film. Ritesh Sidhwani, the co-producer of the film says he will fight for it.

Ritesh told DNA, “Basing their judgement on the trailer alone, they have decided that the film is anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim. If anything, it's anti-terrorism and since Pakistan is as much a victim of this global menace as any other country, it is in their interest to screen the film. It's message is that it's foolish to give up your life for a cause you'll not live to fight for”.

“The promotional video doesn't reflect the content. Our story is set in a fictitious country called Bangistan”, adds Sidhwani. He further said that he has applied for the visa and is planning to visit the country in order to show them the film. The co-producer said, “I'd like to show the film to the ministry and the censor boards to prove that our intentions are fair”. The film stars Riteish Deshmukh, Pulkit Samrat and Chandan Roy Sanyal in lead roles. The film will release on July 31.
