While the UAE has given the censor certificate to the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer, Ek Tha Tiger, the film’s fate, as far as its release in Pakistan goes, still hangs in the balance. News is that the Pakistan Censor Board, till last reports came in, has not given it the go-ahead. The reason for it is the content of the film which some believe is detrimental to the Pakistan state.

Last month an Indian newspaper had reported that Salman K might even fly out to Pakistan to seek approval for its screening in the country, but that hasn’t happened yet.
