Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham's latest film 'Pathaan' has taken the box office by storm, not just in India, but across the world.
However, like every other Indian film, 'Pathaan' too has been banned in neighbouring country Pakistan, but that has not stopped the fans from watching and enjoying it.
If reports are to be believed, the film is being screened illegally in Pakistan and theatres have been rendered housefull.
Pathaan in Pakistan
According to a report in Zoom, a company which goes by the name of Firework Events has been organising the screenings of 'Pathaan' across Pakistan.
The tickets for the film have been priced at PKR 900 and inspite of that, fans have been thronging the cinema halls, forcing organisers to put up the 'housefull' board.
Pakistan Censor Board issues warning
Given the humongous craze and illegal screenings of 'Pathaan' in Pakistan, the Sindh Board of Films Censor has directed Firework Events to cancel all private screenings of the film in the country.
A statement released by the censor board read, "No person shall make or arrange a public or private exhibition of a film by means of cinematograph unless the film has been duly certified for public exhibition by the Board."
The censor board also stated that if any person or firm is found screening 'Pathaan', they will be imposed with a fine of Rs 1 lakh or upto 3 years in jail.
Pathaan in theatres
Meanwhile, 'Pathaan' has grossed over Rs 700 crore across the globe in a span of just 10 days. In India alone, the film has managed to collect close to Rs 380 crore, and it still hasn't shown any signs of stopping.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, 'Pathaan' also boasts of an extended cameo by none other than superstar Salman Khan, and key roles by Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana.
