Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Baby’ which is about an Indian spy on a mission to catch a dreaded terrorist has been banned by the Pakistan censor board. “The ban has been ordered as the film portrays a negative image of Muslims and the negative characters in the film also have Muslim names,” the Dawn newspaper said. All CDs and DVDs of the film have also been banned. Although, the film was set to release on January 23 across Pakistan, cinemas in Karachi had removed it from their websites. The film stars famed Pakistani TV drama actor Mikaal Zulfiqar as well as Rasheed Naz, who played the villainous cleric in Shoaib Mansoor’s ‘Khuda Ke Liye’.
