Taapsee Pannu, Rishi Kapoor starrer Mulk, which is slated to release on August 3 in India, has reportedly been banned by the Federal Censor Board of Pakistan. Film’s producer Deepal Mukut said in a statement, “We are disturbed by this prejudiced verdict and it’s such an irony because our film talks about this very prejudice. We urge the Pakistani Censor Board to reconsider their decision. They will realise how essential it is to the well-being of the human race across the world.”

The film centres around a family whose member is allegedly involved in a terror plot. The family becomes a pariah overnight in the society and the country.

Rishi Kapoor plays the family’s patriarch who approaches a court to fight this prejudice and is represented by his daughter-in-law, played by Taapsee Pannu. Taapsee plays a Hindu girl who is married into the family. The two fight to restore the name of their family and break the label that has led to them losing everything.
