Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has formed a special committee headed by Minister of State for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb for the clearance of Indian movies to be screened in Pakistan.
The move came a month after cinema owners in Pakistan resumed screening of Indian films, lifting a self-imposed two-month ban.
Officials said the panel would also include advisor to the Prime Minister Irfan Siddiqui, Film Censor Board Chairman Mubashir Hasan and a representative from an intelligence agency.
Secretary commerce Azmat Ranjha would serve as the secretary of the committee.
The panel will be responsible for clearing the films to be screened in the country.
The screening of Indian movies in Pakistani cinemas was blocked in October last year following the escalation of tensions with India over the latter’s unprovoked ceasefire violation along the Line of Control. The ban was imposed by the Film Exhibitors Association of Pakistan.
Now the government is expected to shortly allow screening of Bollywood films in local cinemas.
Pakistan should allow Indian Movies because most of them in Pakistan are Bollywood movie lovers
