Celebrated actor and host Faysal Quraishi called for the screening of Indian films in Pakistan cinemas. Faysal Quraishi, in an interview with a private news website, was of the view that cinemas cannot function in Pakistan without Indian movies as people want to watch them and the local industry has no right to impose their will on the masses.

The ‘Hook’ star claimed that Pakistan earned Rs60 to 70 billion by showing Indian films in its cinemas. Moreover, he added that it would revive the Pakistani cinema industry. Faysal Qureshi added that Pakistan had the chance to showcase its films online but lost the opportunity because of its hostile bilateral ties with India.

He is one of the most prolific actors with over 20 national awards to name.
