Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Lal Salaam is set to release next week and the censor formalities have been completed. Ahead of its release, the makers have encountered a big roadblock. Lal Salaam has now been banned in Kuwait owing to its sensitive content.
The film is dealing with a sensitive concept of Hindu and Muslim fights that ignite due to a local cricket match. In the Middle East, clearing censors with this kind of film is very tough as they will not allow religion-sensitive films that are set against any particular community or country.
Recently Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter was banned in total Middle East due to anti-Pakistani content. Now Lal Salaam is said to be banned in Kuwait. We need to see whether the team can clear the censor before release or if it will be banned in other Middle Eastern countries as well.
The film directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth will feature Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in lead roles while the Superstar will be seen in an extended cameo. The film’s music has been scored by AR Rahman. Cinematographer Vishnu Rangasamy and editor Pravin Baaskar are part of the technical team.
