In recent news, veteran actor Shaan appealed to PM Imran Khan to ban content from across the border. Turning to his Twitter this week, the Khuda Ke Liye star appealed to PM Khan to ban Indian content and ‘protect’ the borders from foreign singers, music, and movies.

“ImranKhanPTI pls protect the cultural borders of Pakistan.. no Indian origin film should be released in Pakistan. As India has banned all the Pakistani content including singers artists film and music.. respect and equality must be a pivotal part on any trade,” tweeted Shaan on Saturday.


India Bans Pakistani Content 

After India has decided to ban all Pakistani artists and content, actor Shaan requests PM to do the same. Action must be taken to safeguard and protect our culture and content.

In response to the tweet, netizens replied to his request. One user commented that how cinema owners suffer when Indian films are banned due to the lack of local content, and that the responsibility of creating good content then rests on the shoulders of local filmmakers and actors. In response to the tweet, Shaan commented about the lack of investment in Pakistani cinema. He wrote,

“Then let’s import other stuff as well that we don’t find in Pakistan. That’s not how countries and nations are built. We must support and make our products world class and that cannot happen unless we have patriotic investors.”

He added further in a separate reply, “A cinema is a retail outlet. They should be the first ones to invest in the infrastructure of films so [their] supply [doesn’t] dry out. It’s like opening a restaurant without a kitchen.”

Another user wrote, “Don’t be afraid of your competition! Improve your content first. Except Pakistan, the entire Muslim world is showing Indian films. The 70s, 80s and 90s PTV set example how they beat Doordarshan at that time only due to their superior content.”

The actor then mentioned how his point is not banning the content but giving their own content and artists the respect they deserve. The actor asserted, “We are not afraid of the competition, they are. That’s why they have banned our artists and content. My point is respect and patriotism.”

Another user agreed with the actor’s point. He wrote, “In the times when the world is already full of hate and barriers, let’s talk about bridging the gaps and taking the barriers down. Let’s strive to make them reciprocate with love in the form of shared arts both (love and arts) of which know no bounds.”

In response, the actor simply stated, “In an ideal world, sure. But, in reality, not possible.”
