One-Way Traffic…”: Javed Akhtar On Pak Artistes In India After J&K Attack

New Delhi:

After last week’s horrific terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, in which 25 tourists and a Kashmiri ponywallah were killed, a movie featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan will not be allowed to release in India, and there have been debates about whether this was the right move. Asked to weigh in on this, lyricist-scriptwriter Javed Akhtar has said there are two very important sides to the issue, but artistes from Pakistan should not be allowed to work in India at least for the time being. 

Answering a question on Tuesday, Mr Akhtar, who co-wrote cult movies like ‘Deewaar’ and ‘Sholay’, said there has been “one-way traffic” and legends from India have not been invited to perform in Pakistan.
