Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor’s Neerja has been receiving immense praise from the industry insiders who have had a deko at the movie. And while the film is all set to release in India tomorrow, there is some sad news for the folks in Pakistan who were waiting for the movie.
Despite immense efforts from the team Neerja, the Sonam Kapoor starrer will NOT be releasing in Pakistan. Sonam Kapoor confirmed the same by tweeting about it. She posted, "Extremely disheartened that #Neerja isn’t releasing this Friday in Pakistan. She was awarded by them & I hope they will salute her again."

She saved Pakistani lives, and I can guarantee that Pakistan hasn’t been shown in a poor light, I really hope and pray #Neerja releases.

When #Neerja releases worldwide and people see how fair the film is, I’m hopeful that it will result in a solution to a release in Pakistan.

Earlier the reports said that since Sonam’s film shows the Pakistanis in bad light, the CBFC wasn’t willing to issue a NOC to the movie. In fact, the film has also been banned from being aired on Cable TV later on.
Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor is ‘disheartened’ that her biopic Neerja will not be released in Pakistan.
