Tamil superstar Vijay’s new release entitled Beast in Hindi and Raw in Tamil, is all set for an April 13 release. While fans everywhere who are eagerly awaiting the films’s release, will get to see the mega-star in action, Kuwait has decided to ban the film.
While a clear specific picture as to why Beast/Raw has not found favour in one particular Gulf country I yet to emerge, sources feel it is the terror angle that has put Kuwait off.
In Beast Vijay plays Veer Raghav a RAW agent who takes on a slew of terrorists when they take over a shopping mall. Vijay’s character in the unimpressive trailer is described as “one of the best most notorious spy(sic.) we have ever had.”
That the terrorists who hold up the mall are shown to infiltrate India from Pakistan has not gone down well with Kuwait.
By banning the film, apparently Kuwait hopes to blot out the truth about the origin of some prominent terror attacks in India.
