The Lahore High Court has issued notices to the Chairman of the Film Censor Board of Pakistan to justify the screening of the Bollywood movie Dostana in Pakistan. The petitioner says that the movie has highly objectionable gay content.

Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra starrer movie Dostana is about two men, played by Abhishek and John, pretending to be gay to rent a flat. The movie is produced by Karan Johar and directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

As homosexuality is illegal in Pakistan and is punishable by whipping, imprisonment or even death, the court has issued the notice to the sensor board to justify the screening of the film in the country. The court thinks that the movie will propagate homosexuality in Pakistan.
