'Bollywood Ban' in Pakistan?

Though India and Pakistan are separated by a border but both still love something in common, that is Cricket and Bollywood films. However, due to some recent activities might ban Bollywood films in our neighboring country.

Yes! The headline might become true as a Pakistani lawyer Ishtiaq Chaudhary has filed a petition in Lahore High Court regarding the same. The 'Kashmir' issue is in headlines so there is rise in enmity. If by any chance the said petition acquires support from the political parties there, Pak will ban the exhibition of Indian films in the country, states a report in a leading daily.

A senior filmmaker asked to remain anonymous and quoted saying, "If they ban Bollywood films from Pakistan, what will they show in the movie theaters of the country? They have practically zero film production. Also what about Pakisatni artistes who have made a career in India? Ban them from entering Bollywood?" (sic).

A renowned filmmaker from Pakistan ridiculed such a ban saying, "Such a move will only encourage piracy of Bollywood films. My advice to all governments is to leave politics out of art and culture."

Well, we hope boundaries are just for human infiltration and not to stop the spread of art!
