Pakistan Film Censor Board may not give the NOC (No Objection Certificate) to the Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming Bollywood movie 'Haider', it has been reported.
The film which stars Shahid Kapoor, Tabbu, Kay Kay Menon and Shrada Kapoor in the lead has been shot in Kashmir, which led to the reservations about its release in Pakistan, the Dawn reported.
Sources revealed that the film was previewed and was sent to the Censor Board for approval, however after watching Haider's preview, the body decided not to go ahead with the release because of some controversial elements related to Kashmir.
Haider was slated for its release on October 2 alongside Hrithik and Katrina starrer Bang Bang, but while the shows for Bang Bang are scheduled in Pakistan, the much awaited Haider is nowhere to be seen.
