Sana Mir and Usain Bolt named ambassadors of ICC T20 WC Qualifier 2024
Former Pakistan skipper Sana Mir and eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt have been named as the ambassadors of women’s and men’s ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024.
Anushka Sharma’s Pari which released on 2nd March 2018, is banned in Pakistan. Evil has no religion, says Pari co-producer Prernaa Arora of KriArj Entertainment after the Bollywood horror film was banned in Pakistan for being against religious ethos.
Pari’s script, dialogues, and storyline go against our Islamic values. The concepts within Islam have different ideologies about magic. This film stimulates the viewers in favour of black magic and promotes thoughts that are contradictory to our religion,” stated a senior member of CBFC.
Arora, who has produced the movie with the film’s lead actress Anushka Sharma’s banner Clean Slate Films, said: “They (the Pakistan censor board) seem to be taking random decisions. How do we explain why they would think of Pari as anti-Islamic? Evil, which the film portrays, has no religion.

“We as a responsible production feel very strongly about causing offense to any community. Earlier, our co-production ‘Pad Man’ was banned in Pakistan for being anti-Islamic. Now Pari is also anti-Islamic. Can they please define anti-Islamic? I have no doubt Pakistan will find my next release ‘Parmanu – The Story of Pokhran’ also anti-Islamic.”
“Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran”, co-produced by KriArj Entertainment and John Abraham, is about the nuclear test explosions conducted at Pokhran in 1998.
Pari is one of the most highly-anticipated Bollywood films of the year and sees Sharma in a chilling supernatural role.
