Thalapathy Vijay's 'Beast' Banned In Kuwait But Cleared To Release In The UAE

Chennai, April 6 - Thalapathy Vijay's forthcoming action thriller, "Beast" has been banned to release in the Middle East country, Kuwait. Recently, Malayalam blockbuster "Kurup" and Tamil hit "FIR" were also banned in the country.

As per the industry sources, the reason behind the decision of banning "Beast" in Kuwait could be the portrayal of Pakistan's terrorism and violence. In the recent past, Kuwait's censor board has become strict for Indian movies as compared to the other GCC countries.
