IMPPA Appeals to PM Modi to Lift Dhurandhar Gulf Ban

The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help lift the ban on the film 'Dhurandhar' in several Middle Eastern countries.

The film, which is about an undercover agent, has been banned in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

IMPPA says this ban is unfair and stops people from expressing their creativity.

The film has been very successful in India and other countries, but the ban in the Gulf region is causing financial losses.

The Gulf countries often have strict rules about what can be shown in films, especially if they talk about politics or security.

The director of the film, Aditya Dhar, is a former student of filmmaker Priyadarshan, who has expressed pride in Dhar's work.

The ban is seen as a suppression of creative freedom, while the Gulf countries likely view it as necessary to maintain cultural and political sensibilities.
