The actors expressed their disappointment on social media and filed a petition towards this determination in Lahore excessive courtroom.
Recently, actor Yasir Hussain took to social media to disclose that movie Javed Iqbal, which is banned in Pakistan is all set to be premiered in UK Asian Film Festival 2022. “Yeh bohot fakhar ki baat hai k UK Asian film festival hamari movie ko itni izzat de raha hai magar afsos hai k hum kabhi apna content aur apny log pehchan nahi paaty.
