Bin Laden Goes Bollywood, Can’t get Back into Pakistan………………
“Pakistan has banned an Indian-made comedy film about Osama bin Laden for fear it could spark terrorist attacks, officials said Wednesday. The film, "Tere Bin Laden," is about a Pakistani journalist desperate to get a visa to the U.S. who pretends to score an interview with the elusive al-Qaida chief after finding a look-alike. Though a Bollywood film, it is unusual because it stars a Pakistani actor, Ali Zafar. The film was set for release in Pakistan and elsewhere on Friday. There were reports that producers would release it here by just the name "Tere Bin" to downplay the focus on the Sept. 11 mastermind believed to be hiding in Pakistan's tribal areas.
