Indian cinema owners refuse to screen films with Pakistani actors

[Chauvinist]

After passing through the censor board without the removal of Fawad Khan's scenes, Karan Johar's upcoming release Ae DIl Hai Mushkil runs itself into a roadblock.

Latest reports state that Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India (COEAI) came to a decision on Friday stating that they will not screen films with Pakistani actors in India.

KJo's ADHM, which is slated to release in the next couple of weeks, may see a problem, along with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees starring Mahira Khan.

After the meeting concluded, COEAI president Nitin Datar said, "It was decided that keeping in mind the patriotic feelings and national interest, we have requested all member exhibitors to refrain from screening movies which have involvement of any Pakistani artiste, technician, director or music director."

He further added, "We are also in the process of requesting other associations connected with the film industry to support the sentiments in the best interest of our nation."

Earlier Hindu right wing party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had threatened Pakistani artists to leave India. However, The Hindu reports that no such stand has been taken thus far to revoke visas of Pakistani artists.

"There is no movement to revoke visas of Pakistani artists as of now. We don’t go for knee-jerk reactions," said a senior Home Ministry official.

Getting out of hand now.But can be considered as reaction to some Pakistani cinemas refusing to screen Indian movies.

If this is carried out then Karan Johar is in for lot of trouble.

Peace comes at a price, it's about time someone other than government of India feel the hurt for a change.

Good for them, at least in future these moron producers will think twice before hiring actors from Pakistan; good for the local talent, money stays in India, no soft power flexing for the enemy. On one hand you want the world to isolate Pakistan and on other hand you yourself are hiring their artists is sheer stupidity

Hazor ye kaseda pehley unko sunayein jinhoan ey pehley hamarey dramay phir hamarey artists ban kiye
Wo ban karein aur ham na karein ye kahan ki akal mandi hay?
Unhoan nay 2008 sey hamarey channels ban kiye huye hain aur ham ab bhi na karein?

 

[CorporateAffairs]

Stupidity? My foot.
Very good decision.

What do you mean 'no deliberate fault of theirs' ?

They made movies with pakistani actors by accident ?

The Cinema Owners’ and Exhibitors Association of India is a part of the official Film Federation of India - a body consisting producers, exhibitors and studio owners. The FFI also selects Oscar nominations for India, and organises Indi’s flagship film festival, the IFFI.


When asked how long the ban will continue, the association said a review of the decision will be done once ties “normalise”.

Asked if it would have been better for Indian producers to release the films already made, Anand said, “You are talking about business, we are talking about nation. Whatever little we can do in our own capacity, we are doing. We are ready to bear the losses.”

Bear the losses, let see for how long.
