Pakistan Film Producers Association Calls for Ban on Indian Films
The Pakistan Film Producers Association (PFPA) has demanded a complete ban on the release of Indian films in the country.
Chaudhry Ejaz Kamran, a senior official in the PFPA, said when Pakistani films are not screened in India, why should they screen Indian films here.
"We have to think seriously about this because true our distributors and exhibitors make money from screening Indian films but in the long run it is hurting the growth of our industry," Kamran told PTI .
The demand for a complete ban on release of Indian films comes at a time when in recent months a number of Indian films have been barred from screening in Pakistani cinema houses due to different reasons.
The films banned from release in Pakistan include "Padman", "Veere Di Wedding", "Mulk" and "Raazi", among others.
