Recently released Salman Khan starrer ‘Tiger 3’ has been banned in several Gulf countries, including Qatar and Oman over the negative portrayal of Muslims in the film.
While initial reports hinted at the ban also extending to Kuwait, subsequent information reveals that Tiger 3 is, in fact, available in Vox Cinemas Kuwait. The film, however, remains unreleased in Vox Cinemas in Qatar and Oman. Vox Cinemas is showcasing the action epic in other Gulf countries such as the UAE, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, Mashable Middle East reported.
As per sources, the controversy may be tied to a particular scene featuring Katrina Kaif, engaging in a towel fight, as teased in the trailer. As a result, the ban has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions on social media platforms, with speculation surrounding the reasons behind this decision.
Tiger 3, part of the YRF Spy Universe, boasts an ensemble cast featuring Salman Khan and Katrina as the lead characters, Tiger and Zoya, respectively. Emraan Hashmi plays the role of the antagonist, portraying the leader of a global terror organization in this spy-thriller.
Released on November 12, the movie made box office history by becoming the highest-grossing movie release. As of now, the makers of the offering have not issued any statements regarding the ban or indicated whether they plan to make alterations to the movie to address the concerns raised by the Gulf nations.
