Bollywood Bin Laden comedy nixed by Pakistan's film censor board

Statu_With_Ali_Poster_With_Date.jpgA Bollywood comedy film featuring a Bin Laden lookalike has been banned in Pakistan by the government's film censor board, 'on grounds that extremists could use it as a pretext to launch attacks,' according to Al Jazeera.


The Hindi movie, Tere Bin Laden ('Without You, Bin Laden') is the tale of a Pakistani journalist who pretends to score an exclusive interview with the al-Qaeda chief after finding a look-alike.


'By selling his 'breakthrough scoop' to news channels he hopes to increase his chances to immigrate to the US.'
