Why Aamir will not release 'Dangal' in Pak

Why Aamir will not release

Actor-producer Aamir Khan has decided against releasing his Bollywood blockbuster "Dangal" in Pakistan after the censor board there demanded that two scenes involving the Indian flag and anthem be cut. Mobashir Hasan, Pakistan's Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) head, told media over social media: "Yes, the board unanimously decided to skip two scenes." Asked why the Indian flag and anthem needed to be cut, Hasan said: "The decision is the collective wisdom of the board." He added that it was now up to the local distributor -- Geo Films -- to release it or not.
