Akshay Kumar's Jolly LLB 2 To Release In Pakistan, But With Too Many Cuts!

It's good news for Jolly LLB 2 as Akshay Kumar's upcoming film is all set to release in Pakistan. However, there's a catch to it! The Pakistani authorities have ordered massive cuts on the film as it is reported that the movie shows Muslims in Kashmir in a poor light.

According to the Punjab Censor Board, as reported by Express Tribune, the local theatre owners in Pakistan have requested the film-makers to delete the offensive scenes which might offend the Pakistani viewers. The producer of Jolly LLB 2 has granted them their wishes and will remove the scenes for a smooth release.

Express Tribune had quoted an official of the Punjab Censor Board commenting on the Kashmir issue on Jolly LLB 2 by saying, "For this reason, we are avoiding giving the film a censor clearance certificate. It could be banned from release in Punjab but we are still deciding its fate. The film has been approved for public screening after recommending several excisions. Now it is upto the distributors, whether they want to release it or not. It has been cleared by the censor board."

Also, a local distributor in Pakistan shared his concern that the film has already gone through so many cuts, so what will they eventually show on the silver screen? But it seems the producers of Jolly LLB 2 have decided to go ahead with the cuts so the film will have a smooth release there without any hiccups.

Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi and Annu Kapoor starrer Jolly LLB 2 is all set to hit the theatres on February 10, 2017.
