Pakistan bans the release of ‘Agent Vinod’ in their country

Despite the fact that the lead female in Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Agent Vinod’ is a Pakistani girl, Pakistan’s Censor board has banned the release of ‘Agent Vinod’ in the country, the reason being the fact that the film has references to the ISI.

Saif playing a RAW agent, the film has certain references to the strenuous relationship between India and Pakistan.

Saif Ali Khan calls it a shame and says, “It is a shame that the movie is banned, with no offence to anyone, as the idea is to have open films between the two countries.

I was proud that this film was to release there.”

“This is a realistic kind of a thriller. We have shown that there are some negative elements in Pakistan towards India and their Censor have a problem showing that. We have shown a few most-wanted criminals, those that are harbored in Pakistan, which is a known fact. May be they have taken offense to that.”

“Pakistan forms a large portion of our audience. The minute you put a censorship or ban, people will make sure they watch it. And we want them to see the film. In fact we wanted them to see the mujra performed by Kareena,” he added.
