Imran Khan tells Pakistani filmmakers to not copy Bollywood

Pakistan is making an attempt to recreate its picture on the worldwide platform. Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan, has urged the filmmakers of the nation to create unique content material as a substitute of copying the Indian movie trade. PM Khan was talking at a brief movie pageant in Islamabad. He mentioned, within the preliminary days, the filmmakers noticed Bollywood as a greater trade and felt that if they’d copy the Indian content material, Pakistan’s movie trade would flourish. The thought got here from the truth that folks used to go to Kabul to see Indian movies, mentioned Khan.
He mentioned, “So the most important thing I want to say to young filmmakers is that according to my experience of the world, only originality sells — the copy has no value,” He urged the filmmakers to provide you with new concepts and strategies. “So my (advice) to young filmmakers is to bring your own original thinking and don’t fear failure. It is my life’s experience that the one who is afraid of defeat can never win,” he added.
Khan mentioned that whereas the movie trade was making an attempt to repeat Indian content material, the Pakistani tv trade created unique content material, and several other collection bought in style in India. Khan slammed the concept of popularizing the “soft side of Pakistan” and claimed that Pakistan had been wrongly depicted within the warfare in opposition to terrorism. He urged the Pakistani filmmakers to advertise “Pakistaniyat” as a substitute of copying Bollywood or Hollywood.
Khan’s assault on the Indian movie trade
This shouldn’t be the primary time Imran Khan has attacked the Indian movie trade in his speeches. In January 2021, he linked intercourse crimes in Pakistan to the content material coming from Hollywood and Bollywood. He alleged that the content material that’s being imported from Hollywood to Bollywood to Pakistan is the explanation behind intercourse crimes in Pakistan.
Last yr he linked the rise of divorces in Pakistan to Bollywood. In August 2019, Pakistan had imposed an entire ban on drama, movies and different Indian content material within the nation.
