KARACHI, December 18 (Online): Condemning movies unleashing hatred in the neighboring country, Indian film director Mahesh Bhatt has stressed exchange of Pakistani and Indian movies made on positive themes.
"This would help establish love between the masses of the two sides," said Mahesh Bhatt, who is presently in Pakistan to attend International Film Festival, while addressing a press conference.
Addressing the press conference the Indian film director and his daughter Puja Bhatt said: "We condemn movies made in India, which add to the ill will and hatred". Movies made on the themes of Kargil, Kashmir and other anti-Pakistan registered business in the beginning but now Indian viewers have started rejecting them, they said.
Bhatt alleged that western powers did not want to see establishment of cordial ties between Pakistan and India due to their vested interests "but it is in our large interest that we forge congenial atmosphere and do not let foreign forces enter the region otherwise they will continue perturbing us."
After partition, he said there had been incidents in which Muslims and Indians saved each others lives. If movies are made on such themes then mutual love between the two sides will grow, he said.
