The Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the ban of the film 'Dhurandhar' in several Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. IMPPA described the ban as "unilateral and uncalled for," and a "suppression of freedom of expression," noting the film received CBFC certification and is a major box office success. The association urged diplomatic efforts to lift the ban, highlighting the film's potential to reach a global audience.
