Dubai: Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have ordered the Salman Khan-starrer Bollywood film God Tussi Great Ho off screens in this Gulf nation following complaints that it violated Islamic teachings.
The National Media Council ordered that the movie, released in Saudi Arabia on Friday, not be screened in the UAE after receiving scores of complaints from viewers, the Gulf News reported.
