Pakistan has imposed a temporary ban on the exhibition and screening of Indian films during next month’s Eid holidays.
According to a notification issued by the ministry of information and broadcasting, the exhibition and screening of Indian and foreign films will be banned from two days before the Eid to until two weeks after the holidays.
An official said the step had been taken on the requests by the Pakistani film exhibitors, distributors and production houses.
Pakistani film producers and artists have been complaining for the last two years that their new films face stiff completion from the Indian and Hollywood movies.
