The latest news in the film world is that Bilal Lashari, the Pakistani director of super hit film ‘Waar’, wishes to have the movie released in India too. ‘Waar’ which has gained box office success in such a short time illustrates a tale of Pakistan’s struggle against terrorism. However, the director stated that he hasn’t approached anyone in particular and thinks that it’s a great idea although he doesn’t know how people will react.
The popular director apparently got in touch with the renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma after the latter saw his tweet on the micro blogging website Twitter saying, “Indian filmmakers should get off our assumed high horses and look at Pakistani films seriously.”
Lashari is well aware that the movie might not be taken very warmly but still wishes to screen the film in India. He said that the viewers need to realize that this is just entertainment; the film is not a documentary.
