Bollywood movie Baadshaho is set to release in Pakistan tomorrow, after it was delayed to avoid competition with domestic movies that hit the screens during Eid holidays.   

The Ajay Devgn-Ileana D'Cruz starrer was due to be released there on September 1.   

Film industry sources said the Pakistani filmmakers pressured the distributors and exhibitors not to release any big-budget Indian movie during Eid, when most of the big Pakistani films were set for their release.   

"To ensure that there was no competition for two big Pakistani films, Punjab Nahi Jaungi and Na Maloom Afraad 2, no screen was allocated for Baadshaho," an insider said.     

He said "Punjab... was released in 1,200 screens while Na Maloom... opened in 1,500 screens on Eid.   

"With these two films capturing all the screens, there was obviously no sense in releasing Baadshaho," a well-known film distributor said.
