Sanjay Dutt’s Aakhri Sawal has finally hit the screens on May 15 worldwide. However, the film is reportedly facing roadblocks in the UAE, where it has been put on hold.
Why is Aakhri Sawal banned in the UAE?
Just a couple of days before its release, the film got cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Although the Indian censor board allowed the movie to be released with a UA 16+ certificate, the UAE censor board reportedly suggested multiple cuts, which the makers reportedly refused to adhere.
