The much hyped film has been put on hold ahead of release

(Web Desk) – Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan film’s release across Pakistan has been put on hold because of reported copyright dispute over the famous Qawwali track Bhar dou Jholi.

According to details, the movie has been put on hold despite the fact that Sindh censor board had cleared the film to be released in Pakistan.

However, the copyright dispute has prompted Central Board of Pakistan (CBFC) to hold the certificate of the movie.

The case has been filed by the EMI Pakistan company that claims its copyright had been violated by the film. The legal notice has been sent to the producers and distributors of the films. They have been told the film can only be cleared after the dispute has been settled.
