Tiger Zinda Hai: OMG! This is what Censor board asks Ali Abbas Zafar to remove from Salman Khan's film
Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif starrer film Tiger Zinda Hai is slated to hit the screens on 22nd December 2017. Salman and Katrina are reprising the roles of their previous film Ek Tha Tiger, however, now it is rumoured that CBFC has asked some changes in the film. It is being said that CBFC told makers of Tiger Zinda Hai to change the nationality of Katrina Kaif in the film.
Last year, when the terrorists attacked Uri region and killed 17 soldiers and injured 19 people, the Indian Film Producers Association decided to ban Pakistani artists in Indian films. Now in Tiger Zinda hai, Katrina Kaif is playing the role of a Pakistani spy and her nationality has become an issue in the film. CBFC has forced makers to re-edit the Katrina Kaif portion of the film.
Let me tell you that same thing happened with Karan Johar's film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, initially the character of Anushka Sharma, Alizeh was supposed to hail from Pakistan's Lahore, but after the ban, Karan Johar changed the concept and made the character of Alizeh belonged from Lucknow, India.
Well, it will be a difficult thing for the makers of Tiger Zinda Hai, as it is a sequel not the first so they can not change it. Even the concept of the film is India and Pakistan are fighting against the terrorism in each other's support. They both are united for the peace.
