QATAR HAS BANNED THE DIRTY PICTURE MOVIE

Qatar Has Banned The Dirty Picture Movie 

Ekta Kapoor’s biggest hit The Dirty Picture starring Vidya Balan has been banned in Qatar due to its explicit content. The film has been deemed unsuitable for theatrical exhibition in Qatar. The makers were sent a notice saying that the movie can’t be released in their country.

The Dirty Picture was earlier banned in Pakistan but it managed to release there after the makers appealed to their Censor Board.

The makers however, claim that the ban in Qatar won’t make a big difference to the film’s business.

Silk Smitha's brother sends legal notice to makers of The Dirty Picture

Whenever our filmmakers try to make a film on some real life person, controversies are bound to arise. The latest is the case of Ekta Kapoor's The Dirty Picture based on the life of South sensation Silk Smitha.

While the promos of The Dirty Picture have really caught on, it seems to have irked V Naga Vara Prasad (brother of Silk Smitha). Vara Prasad is upset that the makers have gone ahead and made a film on his late sister without taking permission from the family members. He also feels that the film projects Silk Smitha in an obscene manner. Vara Prasad has now sent a legal notice to the makers and if he doesn't hear from them, he plans to send a second notice through his lawyer at the Hyderabad High Court.

Meanwhile Milan Luthria, director of The Dirty Picture, refused to comment much on this controversial issue and just said that his lawyers are looking into the matter. Tanuj Garg, CEO-Balaji Motion Pictures said, "We have recieved a notice and our legal team is looking into it"
