No Indian films to be screened in Pakistan during Eid, says federal government

This decision was made in an effort to support the initiative taken by the Federal Government of Pakistan to strengthen the local film industry by putting a limited restriction on the screening of all Indian films during the period of Eidul Fitr and Eidul Azha.

Talking about this decision, the producer of the film, Zain Farooqi said, “In view of the recent order of the Federal Government, Zashko Entertainment has decided to release Na Band Na Baraati on Eidul Fitr 2018."

He added that since Indian films will now be releasing around the date of the earlier release plan, it makes more sense to take advantage of the government’s decision. "Keeping in mind the genre of Na Band Na Baraati and making the most of the government's decision, it's best to release the film on Eid.”
