Dhoni's Biopic Is Banned In Pakistan And Indian Twitterati Cannot Stop Joking About It

In the aftermath of the Uri attack that resulted in the loss of lives of 18 Indian soldiers, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) gave an ultimatum to Pakistani film actors to leave India.

Pakistani distributors have retaliated by not releasing Mahendra Singh Dhoni's biopic, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. The film, starring actor Sushant Singh Rajput as Dhoni, releases on 30 September.

Already, the trailer of the much-awaited biopic has caused an online goosebump epidemic.

Following the ban, Indian keyboard warriors on Twitter have unleashed their wrath on our recalcitrant neighbour.

I think Pakistan banned the Dhoni biopic only because they've already seen the best scripted cricket in the world.

Why is MS Dhoni: The Untold Story banned in Pakistan? Does it feature the last over from Joginder Sharma in the 2007 T20 World Cup?

Dhoni's biopic is banned is Pakistan. This is why Pakistan will keep having captains like Shahid Afridi & wicket keepers like Kamran Akmal.

Pakistan not releasing Dhoni biopic. They say the title of the film is M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story, & they don't watch movies w/o stories.

Pak distributors think if Dhoni's biopic is released in Pakistan then their citizens will come to know that India won 2007 T20 WC & 2011 WC.

Dhoni's biopic won't be releasing in Pakistan. They're scared of even Dhoni's helicopters & talk about not being scared of our Army jets!💪!😂

Pakistan refuses to release Dhoni biopic.

I guess they don't want their public with broken TVs to know what Team India did to them 😂
