ISLAMABAD: The executive on Friday banned the exhibition and screening of Indian films across the nation all the way through and around Eid to spice up Pakistan's failing film industry.
An legitimate notification, marked as ‘most immediate’, was issued on Thursday by the Ministry of Information, Broadcasting, National History and Literary Heritage to the chairman of the Pakistan Film Exhibitors Association and all others related bodies.
“In order to restore and promote local film industry in Pakistan, the government has decided to place a restricted restriction on exhibition or screening of Indian films all the way through Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha. The restriction shall stay in pressure for 2 days ahead of and two weeks after Eid days,” the notification learn.
All the importers and distributors of overseas films in Pakistan were asked to “restrain from exhibition or screening of Indian films in cinema homes all over the country.”
Every year all the way through Eid, many Pakistani films are released however they normally fail to compete with Indian films, incurring huge losses.
The decision, in step with executive assets, was taken at the call for of local film directors, manufacturers and a few actors.
“Here in Pakistan, we have now a historical past of suffering to consolidate our local film industry. A temporary ban on Indian films all the way through Eid was our basic call for,” Chaudhry Ejaz Kamran, chairman of Pakistan Film Distributors Association told media.
Salman Khan’s upcoming unencumber ‘Race 3’ is perhaps the only Bollywood unencumber expected on Eid-ul-Fitr. The brief ban will supply an open box for local releases, including Mahira Khan-starrer ‘7 Din Mohabbat In’ and Javed Sheikh’s ‘Wujood’ all the way through Eid.
