The central board has also requested all the provincial boards to put a complete ban on the film, since there is no way in which the film can be edited to suit the audiences.

Pakistan banned the film last month, even after the film’s co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani attempted to clarify to the Pakistan High Commission that the film was a comedy and not “anti-Pakistan”. The duo expressed their wish to make Pakistani censor board watch the film, as there is nothing offensive in the film. “We shall be sending it to the re-examining committee”. He has reasoned that Pulkit, who plays the role of Hanuman in a play in the film, later is seen being involved in terrorist activities and found it objectionable. “Infact, it’s an anti-terrorism film, with a strong message.” added Pulkit. Bangistan talks about world peace.
