Islamabad, Jan 27: Pakistanis will be unable to watch Zero Dark Thirty in theatres as distributors have decided against importing the film on the hunt for Osama bin Laden due to security concerns and fears of upsetting the powerful security establishment.



As the film by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow racks up award nominations and is rolled out in other countries in region, Pakistani distributors said they were unwilling to acquire the movie because of its unflattering references to the military and the ISI.

"No one has imported it. Some films just don't have commercial potential. It would be unviable for us to import Zero Dark Thirty," Nadeem Mandviwala, one of Pakistan's leading film distributors, told PTI.
