Many Bollywood movies get a decent release in Pakistan country and there are a set of audiences who enjoy Bollywood movies in Pakistan. Now, the dubbed version of a South movie is going to have a grand release in Hindi in Pakistan.

KGF, starring Yash in the lead role is already declared an industry hit in Karnataka state. Along with Kannada, the movie also released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi languages.

The film has become a hit in Telugu, Tamil and a blockbuster in Hindi language. Now, the makers are looking forward to the release of Hindi version of the movie in Pakistan. The buzz is that the film will have a grand release on 11th of next month.

Directed by Prashant Neel, the movie’s second part is going to start very soon and it is expected to have a release by the end of the year.

SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali is considered as one of the most successful Indian film franchises of all time. In fact, it’s widely known that the second part of Baahubali emerged as the top all-India blockbuster. Baahubali 2 was recently in the news when the Censor board of China cleared the censorship process of the film.

And now, Baahubali 2 has bagged yet recognition as the SS Rajamouli’s war drama is all set to head to the first Pakistan International Film Festival (PIFF). Baahubali will be screened at the Pakistan International Film Festival that is scheduled to be held on March 29.

Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli took to his Twitter account to express his excitement. He tweeted, “Baahubali has given me opportunities to travel to a number of countries… The most exciting of them all is now, Pakistan. Thank you Pakistan international film festival, Karachi for the invite.”

There is a huge fan base for Bollywood star hero Salman Khan. Recently a die-hard fan of Salman Khan from Pakistan has booked an entire theatre for watching ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ film. This might not sound interesting but the shocking fact is Pakistan Censor Board has banned the release of Tiger Zinda Hai in the country. They claimed that the film has insulted the Pakistan investigation and security teams. Pakistan Censor Board chief Mubashir Hassan has even commented that the film might breach the national security.

However, Sallu Bhai’s fan haven’t backed out. To watch the film, he has got the digital rights and aired a special show for his friends and Salman fans in a theatre in Lahore. After watching the movie he stated that he really loved the film and it has portrayed the relation between India and Pakistan very beautifully.

Though their country has banned the film, he wished that both the countries should be on friendly terms. Responding on this, Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan while talking with ‘midday’ stated that he is very happy and both the countries should allow Indian movies in Pakistan and Pakistan movies in India. Only then the situations in the Nations will get improved.

In the wake of the surgical strikes carried out by India, a decision has been taken to stop the screening of Bollywood films in Pakistan.

Even though the Pakistan government didn’t officially order this, the film exhibitors themselves took this decision keeping in mind the tense atmosphere between the two nations. Hindi films will only be screened in the neighboring nation after normalcy returns. The latest Dhoni biopic is the first film to get affected in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) has also passed a resolution banning all Pak artists and technicians from working in Indian films.

This resolution doesn’t apply to the films already made or the ones on floors but for all the new films. More than the actors, the move is expected to hamper the prospects of Pakistani singers since Bollywood is filled with them.

Bollywood filmmaker Kabir Khan, who is popular for directing the films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Phantom, and Ek Tha Tiger was heckled at Karachi airport yesterday. The reason for being hackled by the strangers is that the filmmaker is doing ‘anti-Pakistan’ films. The director never intentionally made anything or he never intended to make films to hurt the sentiments of Pakistani people. The director Kabir Khan was in Karachi on a day-long visit to attend a conference. While he was heading to Lahore and arrived at the Airport, the strangers rounded him up and began screaming at him making slogans “Shame Shame.”

This is not the first time that Pakistan people showed their hatred on the director. In the past too, Kabir Khan’s films like Phantom, Ek Tha Tiger were banned in Pakistan at the time of their release. “Phantom” is about a retired Indian Army officer who leads a mission to kill Pakistani terrorist leader Hafiz Saeed. Somehow, security officers have made him come out of the mob after a while, and Kabir restarted his journey. A statement from him is expected soon.

Pakistan Government has denied Visa to veteran actor Anupam Kher, who was awarded Padma Bhushan, one of India’s top civilian awards, this year.

Anupam Kher revealed that he was denied the Pakistan visa when he applied for his visit to Karachi to attend the literature festival to commence on 5th February.Out of 18 the applicants, 17 were given visa to attend the festival, but only Anupam Kher was denied visa.

The actor added that he didn’t know why his visa was denied. He opined that his stance on Kashmiri Pandits issue or rising intolerance in India issue or his support to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi might be the reason for the denial of visa.

On the other hand, a diplomat from Pakistan High Commission revealed that Anupam Kher has not at all submitted a visa application.

All was well for Team Kick in Pakistan, when a shocking incident changed the turn of events. Salman’s Kick is doing exceptionally well in all nations, including Pakistan. But a screen was bombed while the film was being screened.

The Capri Cinema in Pakistan was the one bombed by hand grenades by two unidentified men. The whole scene caused uproar and the situation got too chaotic. This is not the first time a cinema was bombed in Pakistan. As the film released on EID, the shows were houseful and the cinemas were crowded.

Reports reveal that the hand grenades were only to cause damage to the property and scare the people and no lives have been compromised so far. Other ulterior motives are not yet known. Not long ago, two cinema halls were almost burnt, apparently due to anti-islamic nature they bore.

Other details are yet to come!

AR Murugadoss is certainly having the best time possible as far as his career goes and the thing is, with him, almost all of it can be attributed to just plain talent and hard work – lady luck doesn’t seem to have much of a role in his movies!

The energetic and enterprising young film maker has made his mark in the landscape of Indian cinema in, relatively, a very short span of time and now he has done it internationally as well – in Pakistan of all places!

Bollywood movies, are of course, a big commodity in Pakistan and ARM’s latest action thriller starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, Holiday, has made quite the impact on the box office over there with collections from the opening weekend being rounded up to almost Rs 1.76 crores!

Now that’s a statement of mass popularity. ARM has gained a reputation for being a director who has his fingers on the pulse of the popular culture and their preferences, which has been called his ‘pan India appeal’. Guess we can officially rephrase that now…

The busy director/producer is currently busy with his next Tamil venture Kaththi starring Vijay, and he is aiming for a Diwali release according to sources. In any case, he just announced that the first look of the movie along with its theme music comes out on the 22nd of this month.

He has also announced two other exciting projects in the pipeline – a unique action film in Hindi which will star Sonakshi Sinha in the lead and a very exciting Tamil flick which will have none other than Thala Ajith in the lead!

Murugadoss also wants to produce smaller movies starring lesser known or upcoming stars, maybe even newcomers, and he claims he is still ‘learning’ as he is, according to him at least, an inexperienced producer.

At this rate, there will be no end to this talented artist’s achievements in the arena of Indian cinema. Good luck ARM, and keep them coming!
