SCOOP!! & NEWS Mughal-e-Azam to be screened in Pakistan11th May 2005 11.55 IST By Agencies After charming the Indian-American community in the US, the timeless classic Mughal-e-Azam is all set to be screened in Pakistan. Pakistan has agreed 'in principle' to screen Mughal-e-Azam, breaching a longstanding ban on theatres showing Indian films, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said in Islamabad. 
In yet another sign of warming relations between India and Pakistan, Mughal-e-Azam will become the first Indian movie to be legally screened in Pakistani cinemas once it get approval from the Censor Board. Set in the 16th century A.D. during the rule of the Muslim emperor Akbar (Prithviraj Kapoor), Mughal-e-Azam brings to life the tale of the doomed love affair between Crown Prince Saleem ( Dilip Kumar ) and the beautiful court dancer Anarkali (Madhubala). Originally shot in black-and-white, Mughal-e-Azam was re-released in India in colour last year. President Pervez Musharraf gave his support to the screening of the 1960 classic, after receiving a request from the family of K. Asif, the director of Mughal-e-Azam. "A letter has been sent from President House to them. We have thanked them and have in principle agreed that it should be screened," Ahmed said, though he added that a final decision still had to be taken. Indian films are hugely popular in Pakistan, and a flourishing bootleg DVD industry the advent of satellite television means Pakistanis can now watch Bollywood movies at home, even if they cannot see them at the cinema. But, older Pakistanis living close to the border, recall tuning into Indian television stations especially to watch Mughal-e-Azam when it was first aired decades ago. "It is now up to the Censor Board when to release the film," Qaisar Sanaullah, a member of the executive council of the Cinema Owners Association, said, adding that money raised would be donated to help people affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami. | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ Himesh Reshammiya to redo Madhuri Dixit’s 'Ek Do Teen' ~ Vidya Balan can look hot and sexy! ~ Deepika-Ranbir not signing films just for the heck of it ~ Aamir Khan joins Shahrukh Khan's Temptation ~ Madhuri Dixit keeps PIA passengers entertained ~ 'Robot' renamed 'Enthiram' ~ Sherlyn Chopra's outrageous bikini causing panic ~ Hijack – Movie Review ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Two faces of Indian woman at Toronto Film Fest ~ Bollywood to lend helping hand for flood-ravaged Bihar ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES A Wednesday, Hijack, Rock On, Chamku, Phoonk, C Kkompany, Mukhbir, Singh Is Kinng, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Drona , Kidnap , Aashayein , Karzzzz MUSIC Rock On , Bachna Ae Haseeno celebs » wallpapers » the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Harman Baweja | Aishwarya Rai | Abhishek Bachchan | Imran Khan | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | John Abraham | Shahid Kapur | Kareena Kapoor | Vidya Balan | Priyanka Chopra | Rani Mukherjee | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Karisma Kapoor | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Sneha Ullal | Mahima Chaudhary | Meghna Naidu | Gayatri Joshi | Rakhi Sawant | Bhumika Chawla | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amrita Rao | Amrita Arora | Genelia D'Souza | Arjun Rampal | Amitabh Bachchan | Vivek Oberoi | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rimi Sen | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Sonam Kapoor | Neha Oberoi | Nisha Rawal | Sikander Kher | Manjari Fadnis | Kamal Haasan | Rajnikant | Asin | Sanjay Dutt | Shahid Kapoor | Sherlyn Chopra | Farhan Akhtar | Prachi Desai | Koel Purie | more...
