The Dirty Picture banned in Pakistan

Earlier this year, it was Imran Khan's Delhi Belly that was banned in Pakistan and now, it's the soon-to-be-released Vidya Balan, Tusshar Kapoor, Naseruddin Shah and Emraan Hashmi starrer The Dirty Picture that has been banned by the Pakistani censor board.

Apparently, after acquiring the clearance by the Indian Central Board of Film Certification, the film was submitted to the Censor Board of Pakistan for censorship. However, the application was rejected as the film was deemed unsuitable for theatrical release in Pakistan. The reason for this was cited that the Board felt The Dirty Picture was inappropriate for viewership in Pakistan due to its bold and controversial content.
