Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are fearing up for the release of their upcoming film Fighter.

As the release date is nearing, it has been reported that the film has been denied release in all Gulf countries barring UAE.

Fighter fails to clear censors in all Gulf countries except UAE?

According to a report in Pinkvilla, the upcoming action film has been denied release in all the Middle East countries except UAE. The action drama reportedly failed to get their film cleared by GCC Censors, which was held on January 10. The reason for the same is not known, but it is assumed that censors either found very disturbing or objectionable scenes. If this report turns out to be true then, it is quite a setback for the makers as the film might lose the business of around Rs 500k to 1 million.
