A film hailing from Uzbekistan has been prevented from release in its native due to the inclusion of Morgan Freeman in its promotional trail despite the actor not appearing in the film.
The licensing body has since accused production studio Timur Film’s promise of a Hollywood A-list actor of breaching consumer’s rights.
Titled Daydi (Rogue), the film was set to be released in cinemas this week until the Uzbekistan film licensing body made the decision to pull it from cinemas.
Freeman was present on both the poster of the film as well as the trailer – however, he made no appearance whatsoever in the finished feature.
