Ban in Gulf Countries: Fans of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the Gulf who were excitedly awaiting the premiere of their movie “Fighter” had terrible news. Fighter has not been allowed to be released in any of the Gulf countries, according to producer and industry analyst Girish Johar. The ban’s cause hasn’t been made public yet, though.
In Gulf nations, the movie has been outlawed, though. There have been rumors in the media that the film “Pathan” is prohibited not just in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) but also in a number of other Gulf nations. The UAE no longer offers the possibility to make reservations for some large theater chains, according to recent reports.
The UAE distributor of the movie just confirmed that “Fighter” has been suspended in the country, shocking many of the movie’s fans. It’s still unclear, though, why exactly the ban was imposed. Reportedly, the decision was taken because of ‘inappropriate elements’ in the movie. When “Fighter” was first announced, it was rated PG-15 and will be distributed in the United Arab Emirates.
The film ‘Fighter’ is anticipated to have severe consequences in major overseas markets, especially in the Gulf region, which is a big market for Bollywood films, as a result of the ban in Gulf countries. The prohibition might have an effect on “Fighter’s” worldwide box office receipts. It’s important to remember that Siddharth Anand’s previous hit movie, “Pathan,” broke records for the highest-grossing Indian film in the United Arab Emirates when it earned more than 12.6 million dollars in the Gulf market.
Previously, Hrithik Roshan’s popular film “War” brought in almost $5 million in the Gulf nations. The worldwide earnings of ‘Fighter’ may be significantly impacted by the ban in these important markets.
