Chairman SBFC Khalid Bin Shaheen said, ‘Section 4 (10) of Sindh Motion Pictures Act 2011 regulates public or private exhibition of film and no any can exhibit film without certification by Board’. It is, therefore, an appropriate exhibition of the film ‘Pathaan’ that should immediately be cancelled. In case you have been found to violate provisions of the aforementioned Act, such violation would amount to punishment as provided under section 18(1) which reads without lawful authority, any film which has not been certified by the board cannot be exhibited, altered, tempered, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine which may Rs 100,000 or with both. In case of a continuing offence, with a further fine which may extend to Rs 10,000 for each day during which the offence continues, it added.

Khalid Bin Shaheen while talking exclusively to Daily National Courier said that whoever intends to cross the legal lines as set by the censor board will have to face dire consequences as at present screening of ‘Pathaan’ has been categorically restricted by the concerned authority in light of the law.
