Hrithik Roshan's 'Fighter' Banned In Gulf Countries

Mumbai, January 23 - Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone Fighter has failed to get censor approval in Gulf countries. The Siddharth Anand's directorial aerial action flick is scheduled to be released on January 25.

According to the latest reports, entire Gulf countries, except for UAE, have banned "Fighter". The film was submitted to the censor on January 10, and on January 23, it was officially communicated that the movie wouldn't be hitting the big screen in the Gulf. However, the film will be released in UAE as scheduled with a PG-15 rating.



The reason behind the ban has not been revealed yet. Recently, superstar Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" was also banned in Kuwait and Qatar for its theatrical release. The Gulf has been a big overseas market for Indian movies so the ban will put a dent in "Fighter's" business.

Produced by Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures, the movie stars Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor in prominent roles. It is the first-of-its-kind aerial action thriller which has references to the 2019 Pulwama attack, and the 2019 Balakot airstrike.
