Controversy

After the release of trailers and songs from the film, different artists, producers, directors and 14 different film-related organizations in Bangladesh began to protest the release of Nabab. [24] [25] [26] [27] After claims by the protesters that the films 'broke' some of the rules of making joint ventures, the Censor Board of Bangladesh did not give clearance to release the films. In response, Jaaz Multimedia threatened to close down their cinema halls for Eid if their films would not be allowed to release. The protesters also brought Shakib Khan, star of Nabab, who once went on the streets of Bangladesh to protest the release of Indian films. [28] Khan, at a press conference by Jaaz Multimedia, defended his position and former protests with claims that he only protested against big-budget Hindi/Urdu, not Bengali joint venture films. After a few weeks of protests, the Censor Board gave clearance to the films to release, in time to release on the holiday of Eid. [29] [30]
