The Pakistan censor board has banned the release of Salman Khan's film, Ek Tha Tiger. There has been no official announcement as yet but the Pakistan distributor, Atif Rashid commented saying the film was banned from release and dint want to discuss further on this. One of the Pakistan filmmakers said that, if an Indian film mentioned about the ISI, the film will not be shown in Pakistan, in order to help the growth of the territory.

Filmmaker Kabir Khan said, "It is sad a film that promotes peace and friendship between countries has fallen victim to politics." Trade pundits feel ETT had potential of doing a business of Rs 10 cr. Khan said, "It is not about the money loss but a film with good intention failed to release in Pakistan though places like Dubai and London which has a mixed population of Indians and Pakistanis have reacted positively to the film."

Around 35 prints of Ek Tha Tiger were to be released in Pakistan on Eid, initially. Many such films have been banned from release in Pakistan. Saif Ali Khan's Agent Vinod, was also prohibited from being seen, in Pakistan because it mentioned about the Pakistan intelligence agency.
