An upcoming Bollywood movie, starring Rajkummar Rao, has run into trouble with censors in Bahrain.
According to reports, Hansal Mehta's 'Omerta' has been denied a censor certificate in Bahrain.
Indian website Bollywood Hungama quoted a source close to the developments saying, “The censor board in Bahrain has refused to grant 'Omerta' a censor certificate since the film is highly anti-Muslim. There were some issues in the UAE as well, however the same has been sorted and the film will release normally.”
The report on the website also added a quote from Narendra Hirawat, who handles the overseas distribution of 'Omerta', confirming the refusal of the Bahrain censor board. He said, “Yes, the Bahrain censors have not granted Omerta a certificate due to which the film will not release.”
However, he did not confirm the reason behind the refusal to grant a certificate.
