Islamabad: Superstar Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which is about a man on a mission to help a speech-impaired girl return to her home in Pakistan, may release across the border due to its positive message, said a Pakistani film distributor, reports Dawn.com.

The Kabir Khan-directed movie chronicles the adventures and experiences he stumbles upon during his road trip.

Zain Wali, representative of film distribution company Everready Pictures, said that he is extremely positive about the movie's release in the country.

"Bajrangi Bhaijaan is set to release on Eid and this is 102 per cent confirmed. There are no objections in the film and we are confident that it will make it to the cinemas with Bin Roye and other films," Wali said.

The film which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui is slated to hit screens on the Eid weekend, on July 17 (in India).

Salman's films are popular for gravity-defying stunts and masala content. Bajrangi Bhaijaan stands true to that image, but also runs high on emotion.

A slew of Indian films like Baby, Ek Tha Tiger and Agent Vinod faced a ban in Pakistan. But Mr Wali said that it may not be the case for Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

"The reason censor board raised objections over Baby was because the film painted a controversial picture of Muslims. Bajrangi Bhaijaan does not suggest anything against Pakistan and the trailer alone can give a clear depiction of the message it is giving out," he said.

Mr Wali pointed out that though he is positive about the film coming to Pakistan, censor board, will take the last call. "Most importantly, we have faith that the film will see the light of the day in cinemas. The last stage regarding the release of any film, be it local or international, is the approval from censor board. We are positive that the film will not face any challenges in this regard because we haven't heard anything dubious about it," he added.
