No ´Lahore´ In Pakistan!
- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant           Let us know what you think about this story

When the Indian film 'Lahore' releases this week, theatres in it's namesake city will not screen it as the movie has been denied a release in Pakistan.

The film which looks at Indo-Pak relationships through the prism of sports, was denied a release because the censors in the neighbouring country found Pakistan's portrayal in the film negative, said the movie's producer Vivek Khatkar.

The film, which was shot extensively in Pakistan, has won many awards in the international film festival circuit and is set for a global release on March 19.

"Our film doesn't have anything negative about Pakistan. The name of our film has been misjudged by the authorities. It is called Lahore because the climax of our film is set in Lahore, and we have no intentions of hurting anyone's sentiments," Khatkar told PTI.
