Jolly LLB 2 starring Akshay Kumar has apparently been banned by Pakistan’s censor board. Subhash Kapoor’s courtroom drama has references of Kashmir issue and reportedly the same hasn’t gone down well with the Pakistani authorities.

Bringing up the issue has not gone down well with the Pakistani censor board. They’ve banned the film, as they intend to ban all Indian films that bring up the Kashmir issue,” a source was quoted in a DNA report.



Earlier, Raees was also banned in Pakistan as it showed Muslims in “negative light. Raees makers. especially director Rahul Dholakia had expressed disappointment for the same. Even Pakistani actor Mahira Khan, who made her Bollywood debut with Raees, was unhappy.
