Tiger Zinda Hai: Salman-Katrina love story to face opposition from CBF

Last year, after the Uri attack , the
tensions between Pakistan and India
escalated into cinema as well. The MNS
(Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) kicked up
a huge row, regarding Karan Johar's Ae
Dil Hai Mushkil, as it starred Pakistani
actor, Fawad Khan. Finally, KJo had to
release a video, saying that he will not
work with any Pakistani actors, and all
Pakistani elements in the film were
changed.
This year, it's going to be difficult to get
Katrina Kaif's Pakistani character, Zoya,
from Tiger Zinda Hai, a clearance from the
Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
According to a source close to the CBFC,
there is an unofficial ban on all Indo-Pak
romances or relationships for now. "If
you remember, in Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai
Mushkil, Anushka Sharma's character
Alizeh was from Pakistan. But after the
surgical strikes and the escalated
hostilities between the two countries, her
nationality was quickly changed, and she
became an Indian Muslim from Lucknow,"
said the source.
So, will Zoya's nationality be changed too?
"It's likely," the source said. "The
guidelines clearly don't allow this kind of
a cross-border merger."
