Blackout for Pakistani movie ‘Bin Roye’ in Maharashtra

Also, it is a known fact that Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is making her big Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Excel Entertainment’s Raees. The distributor B4U has reportedly sent Khopkar a letter in which they have sent a confirmation that Bin Roye will release everywhere in India barring Maharashtra state.

B4U Films has replied to MNS that the film will not be released in the state.

Sources told The Express Tribune that the concerned authorities contemplated the possibility of blocking the cinematic release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan in Pakistan, but no decision has been taken on the matter so far.

Catch this movie in a theater near you when it releases internationally on July 17-Eid Mubarak! MNS objected to the proposed release on the grounds that Pakistan has been sponsoring terror attacks on the country particularly in Maharashtra. Her upcoming film will not open in Maharashtra. “That is a major achievement in itself”. It’d mean an increase in the number of screens for Bin Roye and Wrong No. Bin Roye was already releasing on more than 400 screens worldwide on Eidul Fitr, including Indian cinemas, barring Maharashtra.

Speaking to BBC Urdu, Durraid Qureshi, CEO Hum Films said that he was sad about how Shiv Sena had reacted.

Khopkar assured B4U that MNCKS had no objection if the movie is released elsewhere in the country, following which the distributor is going ahead with plans to release “Bin Roye” nationally and globally on Friday.
