Dubai (PTI): After UAE banned Salman-Amitabh starrer Bollywood movie 'God Tussi Great Ho', another Gulf country Kuwait has also decided to stop its screening.

The country's ministry of information decided to impose ban on the movie as it "reportedly violates teachings of Islam," a Kuwait National Cinema Company (KNCC) official told Arab Times.

'Bruce Almighty', the Jim Carrey-Morgan Freeman movie of which 'God Tussi Great Ho' is a remake ran in Dubai with cuts but was banned in Kuwait. 'Bruce Almighty' has been repeatedly telecast on Western movie channels that are aired in the region.

Pirated copies of the movie are already available in these countries and hundreds of copies are believed to have been sold already. Kuwait banned the movie 'Kingdom' last year as it reportedly portrays Saudi authorities in a negative light.
