Akshay Kumar's Jolly LLB 2 To Release In Pakistan, But With Too Many Cuts!
Jolly LLB 2 starring Akshay Kumar & Huma Qureshi is all set to be released in Pakistan but with too many cuts. The film-makers have agreed to the cuts for a smooth release across the border.
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.
