2017 Uzbek Film Banned from Theaters for Using False Advertising with Morgan Freeman!

The Uzbek action thriller *Daydi* (2017) tried a bold trick: it put Morgan Freeman in the main poster even without the actor having any role in the film. Result? The film was banned from cinemas for false advertising. The authorities questioned the use of Freeman's image (taken from another film) and considered it a violation of consumer rights. Freeman was never attached to the project. A bizarre case that shows how far producers will go to sell tickets. Morgan Freeman remains such a strong name that even films without him try to take advantage!
