Bollywood star Akshay Kumar`s latest film `PadMan` has been banned in Pakistan. The country`s Federal Censor Board has refused to give its nod for the release of the R Balki-directed film. The board says it can`t allow the country`s film distributors to import films which are against their traditions and culture. The members of Punjab Film Censor Board also refused to watch the film saying it is based on a “taboo subject” and outrightly rejected any clearance certificate to it. Well-known Pakistani filmmaker Syed Noor said that there was a need to speak to the local film distributors and exhibitors about the films they import from other countries. Not only this film but even `Padmaavat` should not have been released in Pakistan as it portrays Muslims in a very negative light, Noor said. `PadMan` deals with the issue of menstrual hygiene. Incidentally, `PadMan` has opened to a good reception in India. The film had earned Rs 10.26 crore on its first day and is expected to cross the Rs 50 crore mark during the weekend. The movie is inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented the manufacturing machine that could provide sanitary pads to women at a considerably low cost.
