Muscat: Omani actor Talib Al Balushi has dismissed rumours of his ban from Saudi Arabia, describing the claims as baseless.

The speculation arose after Al Balushi portrayed a cruel character in the film Aadujeevitham, which is set in Saudi Arabia. Social media reports soon circulated that the actor faced a ban due to his role as the villainous Arab in this Blessy's movie.

However, Al Balushi dismissed these reports and said they are baseless. He confirmed that neither the Saudi Arabia nor the Omani governments have issued any notification restricting his entry into Saudi Arabia.

Currently, Al Balushi is in Kerala, to participate in the Kerala State Award ceremony for the movie Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life.
