Iqra Aziz calls out authorities over ban of Yasir Hussain film 'Javed Iqbal'
Iqra Aziz asks PEMRA to revisit their decision
Iqra Aziz is disappointed after husband Yasir Hussain's much-awaited film, Javed Iqbal gets banned by authorities.
Turning to her Instagram on Friday, Iqra raised her voice in a social media outpour, urging the audience to accept the harsh reality of the serial killer and the lives he harmed.
Iqra went on to share how this film is very different from the mainstream rom-com movies in the Pakistani film Industry.
"Why can’t we just accept the fact that this really happened in the 90’s. Kya sirf comedy film ya pyar bhara drama hi hai pakistan ki entertainment. Humari audience kehti hai humain kuch aur bhi dekhao lekin doston kese dikhayein? (Are there only comedy movies and love-filled dramas left in Pakistani entertainment? Our audience says that they want to watch different content but friends, how do we do that?)
"Mujhe lagta hai humary Pemra ny ted bundy ki tapes nahi suni (I don't think PEMRA has heard tapes of Ted Bundy)," added Iqra, referring to an American serial killer.
Earlier, Iqra Aziz shares her excitement after watching the premiere of Javed Iqbal with husband Yasir, dubbing him one of the best artists in Pakistan.
