Pakistan Might Lift The Ban On The Releases Of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil & Shivaay!
Terming it merely a ‘suspension’ and not a ban, Pakistan might lift the ban on the screening of Bollywood films including Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
exhibitors
in
Pakistan
will
be
lifting
the
ban
on
the
screening
of
Indian
films
including
Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil
&
Shivaay,
which
are
one
of
the
biggest
Bollywood
films
of
2016.
Terming
it
merely
a
'suspension'
and
not
a
ban,
as
there
was
no
government
intervention,
exhibitors
on
their
own
had
decided
to
stop
the
screening
of
Indian
films,
following
the
ban
on
Pakistani
artists
and
technicians
working
in
India
by
the
Indian
Motion
Pictures
Producers'
Association
(IMPPA)
earlier
in
October,
reports
the
Express
Tribune.
In
the
latest
meeting,
all
exhibitors
had
agreed
to
resume
screening
effective
from
Tuesday.
According
to
another
cinema
owner,
"The
Indian
Army's
statement
is
a
good
enough
evidence
for
the
change
in
perspective
on
the
other
side
of
the
border.
So
is
the
release
of
Fawad
Khan's
film
in
India."
According
to
Hindustan
Times,
a
formal
announcement
will
be
made
by
the
chairman
of
Pakistan's
exhibitors
association,
Zuraiz
Lashari,
in
Lahore
on
Tuesday.
The
owner
of
a
leading
distribution
company
said
that
the
resumption
of
Indian
films
had
to
happen
since
cinema
owners
relied
heavily
on
Bollywood
movies
for
their
revenue.
The
secretary
of
Sindh
Board
of
Film
Censors,
Razzaq
Khuhwar,
said
"The
government
has
issued
the
NoC
for
Shivay.
We
are
set
to
screen
today
or
tomorrow
for
certification."
