Film Lafangey was first barred from being released in Pakistan because the censor board deemed it “unfit” for the country’s audience. However, the Central Board of Film Censors has now approved ‘Lafangey’ for screening in cinemas on Eid-ul-Azha, reports said.

 “This is to inform you all that film Lafangey has received clearance after full board review at Islamabad censor board. We will be releasing Lafangey on Eid-ul-Azha. Inshallah! Thank you for all the concern and support,” a Pakistani publication quoted a key member of the PR team of the movies as saying.

Lafangey was banned because of vulgar content. However, Mani, who stars in the film, believes that there is nothing unique about Lafangey.

Speaking to the media, Mani said that the Sindh Censor Board had requested a cut in the film, which they complied with and removed. However, the Punjab Censor Board put a ban on it without watching it in full. He added: “They only watched about 45 minutes of the film and banned it.”
