The film ‘Border 2’, produced by Nidhi Dutta and Anurag Singh, hit theaters on January 23. While the movie was released nationwide in India and in several other global markets, reports now confirm that ‘Border 2’ has been banned in six countries in the Middle East.
Reason for the Middle East Ban
The primary reason for the ban on ‘Border 2’ is its storyline. The film is based on the 1971 India-Pakistan war and is reportedly perceived as ‘anti-Pakistan’ by some Middle Eastern nations. This perception led to the decision to prohibit its release in those countries.
Affected Countries and Similar Incidents
While the specific names of the six countries in the Middle East where the ban has been imposed have not been officially confirmed, it is understood that they are all located within this region. This is not an isolated incident, as similar films, such as ‘Dhurandhar’, have faced bans in the Middle East for comparable reasons in the past.
Cast and Reception in India
The film marks Sunny Deol’s comeback, with Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty also playing pivotal roles. In India, ‘Border 2’ has received a positive response from audiences, with fans expressing widespread appreciation on social media platforms.
