Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' has set the cash counters ringing in Pakistan, but Riteish Deshmukh and Pulkit Samrat's 'Bangistan' gets banned here, claiming it to be an anti-Pak film.
Even though disappointed with censor board's decision producer Ritesh Sidhwani has decided to fight it out.
Director Karan Anshuman, both the actors along with the producer have applied for a visa and hope to visit the nation for a day. The team has planned to meet the censor board and clear their doubts about the film.
Apparently they also planned to showcase the film to board of member. Ritesh Sidhwani says, "Basing their judgement on the trailer alone, they have decided that the film is anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim. If anything, it's anti-terrorism and since Pakistan is as much a victim of this global menace as any other country, it is in their interest to screen the film. It's message is that it's foolish to give up your life for a cause you'll not live to fight for."
He further added, "I'd like to show the film to the ministry and the censor boards to prove that our intentions are fair. The promotional video doesn't reflect the content. Our story is set in a fictitious country called Bangistan.''
