Taapsee Pannu, Rishi Kapoor's 'Mulk' banned in Pakistan

New Delhi : Pakistan has banned Taapsee Pannu and Rishi Kapoor starrer Mulk, said the filmmakers. Film’s producer Deepal Mukut said in a statement, "We are disturbed by this prejudiced verdict and it’s such an irony because our film talks about this very prejudice. We urge the Pakistani Censor Board to reconsider their decision. They will realise how essential it is to the well-being of the human race across the world."

The film revolves around a family whose members are alleged to have created a terror plot. The family becomes a pariah overnight in the society and the country.

Rishi Kapoor plays the family’s patriarch who approaches a court to fight this prejudice and is represented by his daughter-in-law, played by Taapsee Pannu. Taapsee plays a Hindu girl who is married into the family. The two fight to restore the name of their family and break the label that has led to them losing everything.

In India, the film is set to release on Friday (August 3) while it has already garnished good reviews by the critics.
