Imran Khan urges Pak filmmakers to focus on original content, not copy Bollywood/ ANI
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the country's filmmakers to focus on original content and adopt new approaches to filmmaking instead of copying Bollywood.
During an event at the short film festival in Islamabad, Khan said mistakes were committed at the beginning since the Pakistani film industry was "impressed" by Bollywood which resulted in copying and adopting another culture.
"So the most important thing I want to say to young filmmakers is that according to my experience of the world, only originality sells -- the copy has no value," he said, as quoted by Dawn newspaper.
While stressing on the importance of originality, Imran Khan urged the Pakistani film industry to bring a new way of thinking.
