Pak premiere of Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam-starrer called off as authorities refuse permission

The makers of 'Total Siyapaa' and actor Ali Zafar have been planning to hold a special screening of the film in Pakistan for a while now, but it looks like this is not going to happen now. It has emerged that the film's premiere - that was slated to take place today in Karachi - was cancelled as the makers did not get permissions for the same from the Pakistani authorities.

A source says, `Ali and the film's makers were keen to host the premiere in Karachi, Pakistan. The idea was to cash in on the Pakistani actor/ singer's popularity in his home country and he was anyway garnering positive feedback for the film. But their efforts went in vain as the permissions failed to trickle in.`


Another source says that despite the huge fan following that Bollywood enjoys in Pakistan, Indian cinema is yet to gain acceptance there. `In the past, there have been instances where Indian films were not even allowed to be shown in Pakistan because of their content,` says the source, adding that 'Total Siyapaa' will release in Pakistan on Friday.

The film's spokesperson confirmed the news.
