Kaabil first Indian film to release in Pakistani theatres after self-imposed ban was lifted?
Karan Johar has finally broken his silence on the Pakistani artistes ban, and his upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
Cinema owners and distributors are caught in the middle between Film producers, with whom they have signed contracts, and MNS leaders who are firm on their stance of opposing all films with Pakistani artistes.
Could films starring Pakistani artistes — such as Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Dear Zindagi and Raees — be refused screens in Indian theatres?
The television and radio regulator across the border, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority, has announced a ban on all Indian channels there from Saturday, 1 October.
The ban starts with new projects so there's not clarity on India hosting Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in the future, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Raees will be allowed to release.
