Baahubali 2 in Pakistan: Will Rajamouli-KJo's film become 'Babu Ali' across the border?

Sangeet Lyrics 7:57:00 PM


Arts or artists have no barriers and time and again it has been proved. Now, here is one more example to it where a section of Pakistanis have expressed their desire to watch Baahubali 2. SS Rajamouli's magnum opus has been released across the world, but it is yet to see the light of the day in Pakistan.
Many Pakistani cine-goers have requested SS Rajamouli and Karan Johar to release Baahubali 2 in their country. "@karanjohar kndly chk why #Baahubali2 is nt releasng in #Pakistan... my frnds r dyng 2 watch it!!#BahubaliTheConclusion #Bahubali2," a fan named Ali Salman tweeted.

Bollywood movies have often made it to Pakistani theatres. The films, which do not portray Pakistan or Islam in the bad light, are given green signal for release in the country.
Especially, the films of Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have good market in the neighbouring country. However, the movies are badly hit when the ties between the two warring nations sours up.


Coming to Baahubali 2, the industry is sceptical whether Baahubali 2 will be widely accepted by Pakistani audience, given the nature of the content which presents the Indian culture.
Poster Surfaces Online


A poster of Baahubali 2 has emerged online in spite of call to release the film in Pakistan. The creator of the photo has gone to the extent of rechristening the name to Babu Ali. Also, Prabhas is seen donning a skull cap apart from sporting a beard, while Anushka will be seen wearing a 'hijab.'
The photoshopped poster appears to be funny although it is objectionable due to religious undertone.
