Film ‘Neerja’ banned in Pak

Karachi: Sonam Kapoor-starrer Neerja, based on the hijacking of the Pan Am Flight 73 at the Karachi airport in 1986, has been banned in Pakistan allegedly for showing the country in poor light. The film, which releases in India on February 19, has been banned without being submitted to the censor board. The movie revolves around Neerja Bhanot, a flight attendant from Chandigarh, who was shot dead by terrorists while saving passengers.  PTI
