"Shah Rukh Khan&amp;#039;s Chennai Express and Akshay Kumar&amp;#039;s Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara have been banned from releasing in Pakistan during Eid. Khan and Kumar&amp;#039;s movies will not release in the region as planned, as the Pakistan government reportedly wants only locally-made films to screen during the Eid holiday.   Soheb Ali, owner of Showbiz Spice, told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;This decision was made to give a chance to Pakistani&amp;#039;s big budget movies Main Hoon Shahid Afridi, Josh and Ishq Khuda to do well at the box office.&amp;quot; The Bollywood projects are expected to screen in Pakistan later in August, with Ali stating that the delay should not have much of an impact on their box office collections. &amp;quot;These movies will release later on in Pakistan, but after Eid, so I don&amp;#039;t think it would cause much harm to the business of these movies in the international market. They can still make 100 crore if the movies have potential.&amp;quot; Ali went on to add that Chennai Express is likely to perform better in the region than Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara. &amp;quot;SRK has a wider fan following in Pakistan, so we can say that he is the biggest star in Pakistan out of the two.&amp;quot; Watch the trailer for Chennai Express below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
