Vidya Balan's The Dirty Picture has been banned in Pakistan.
The censor board has deemed the Silk Smitha biopic unsuitable for theatrical exhibition, reports Hindustan Times.
"Our overseas distributor informed us about the film being rejected by the Pakistan censors," confirmed Tanuj Garg, CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures.
"It is very unfortunate that the audience in Pakistan, who have been keenly awaiting its release, will not have a legitimate means of viewing it," added Garg.
The Pakistan Censor Board stated that the 'subject matter and bold scenes' in the film influenced its decision not to pass the picture.
Earlier projects including Delhi Belly and Tere Bin Laden faced similar bans.
Lead actor Emraan Hashmi is known to have a large fan following within Pakistan.
The Dirty Picture releases on December 2.
