HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HAPPENINGS Pakistan opens its doors to Indian actors23rd June 2006 11.15 IST By Agencies After allowing the release of Indian films like K Asif's 60s classic Mughal-e-Azam and Akbar Khan's Taj Mahal in its cinema halls, Pakistan has now thrown open its doors to Indian actors. Recent amendments by the Pakistani Government to its 1980 Film Rules Act have cleared the way for Pakistani filmmakers to operate with Indian actors.
As per four amendments made to the 1980 Film Rules Act on June 5 by the Pakistan Ministry of Culture, the ‘notorious’ Paragraph 5, a major obstacle for Pakistani filmmakers wanting to hire Indian actors, has been deleted, thus paving way for Indian actors to cross the border to work in films in the neighbouring country. This clause was a legislative order, which stopped filmmakers from proceeding towards Indian frontiers with possible ventures for the industry, chairman of the Pakistan Film Producers Association (PFPA) Saeed Rizvi said. According to 'Daily times' in Pakistan, the recent notification by the Pakistani Ministry of Culture, stated that "in Form B, Paragraph 5 shall be omitted". The deleting of the paragraph 5 is a part of the four amendments affected by the Government to Rule 10 in the Censorship of Film Rules 1980. "This is an excellent series of announcements by the Government. They have opened the doors for us to work with Indian stars. We have always wanted to cast them in our movies, but we couldn’t because of the notorious Paragraph 5,"Mr Rizvi he said. The Pakistan government's decision has been welcomed by Indian filmmakers.
