Replying to a fan's query on Twitter, director Kabir Khan posted: "True... @BeingTeJan: #EkThaTiger gets banned in Pakistan.It ws abt peace & friendship between Indo-Pak."
"Pak censor said No @o chandio: please confirm us is E.T.T releasing In pakistan...sIr Buht pareshaan hoon," he tweeted confirming the scoop to a different fan.
Khan said the Pakistan Censor Board didn't give any explanation for banning the film.
"They didn't give any reason @niinja41: bt why they said no," he replied to a follower at the micro-blogging site.
He said there isn't the slightest chance for the discharge of the movie within the neighbouring country.
"Sorry :-( @RiaaSheikh: Is there some hope? thoda sa bhi nahi? :( We waited for nearly a year for the movie," Khan posted for one more fan.
The film was to release with 35 prints in Pakistan on Eid and, as per trade analysts, can have made a business of Rs 10 crore within the country.
The film was initially declared anti-Pakistan film, for which the concerned authorities banned the screening of the film. Later the film received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a different screening for the members of the Pakistan Censor Board.
Pertinently, 'Ek Tha Tiger', which was released in India on Aug 15, made a business of Rs 32 crore at the opening day itself.
The film starring Salman and Katrina Kaif within the leads relies at the activities of Indian and Pakistan spy agencies -RAW and ISI.
