Ajay Devgn starrer ‘
Singham Again
‘ and Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
‘ BANNED in Saudi Arabia for THESE reasons
Ahead of their big Diwali clash, Ajay Devgn starrer ‘Singham Again’ and Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ have been banned in Saudi Arabia. While the former will not be released there owing to religious conflict, the latter has been banned over
homosexual references
.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, the release of Rohit Shetty‘s Singham Again has been halted in an Arab nation due to its portrayal of a “religious conflict.” The ban reportedly stems from the film’s depiction of Hindu-Muslim tensions.
The report also stated that Kartik Aaryan’s character in Anees Bazmee’s film includes references to homosexuality, leading to its ban by the Saudi government.
The trailer for Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, hinting at ties to the Hindu epic Ramayan, was unveiled on October 7, 2024. Just two days later, on October 9, the trailer for Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy was released on YouTube.
Singham Again is the fifth installment in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe franchise and a sequel to Singham Returns (2014). Ajay Devgn returns as DCP Bajirao Singham, while Kareena Kapoor plays his on-screen wife, Avni Kamat, who is kidnapped by Arjun Kapoor’s character, Danger Lanka.
It also stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Jackie Shroff in key roles.
Meanwhile, the horror comedy stars Kartik Aaryan in the lead role and marks the third installment of its franchise. He is paired with Triptii Dimri, while Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit play significant roles in the film.
Both films are set to release in India on November 1, 2024.
