The Pakistan government is co-producing two ‘multi-million dollar’ biopics based on Zahiruddin Babar with Uzbekistan and Allama Iqbal with Iran, Pakistan Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry announced, Samaa TV reported.<\/p>\n
“A film-making division has been established at Pakistan Television Network and currently two projects are in production,” he said. “These movies will be made on international standards.”<\/p>\n
Another project based on Tipu Sultan is in process with a private production house, he added.<\/p>\n
The information minister said that the government is simplifying the process to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) for film productions in the country.<\/p>\n
PTV Films, he said, will be a platform for young filmmakers to pitch their ideas and produce movies together.<\/p>\n
The government will fund their projects and market their films to revive Pakistani cinema.<\/p>\n
“Pakistan has one of the most beautiful sites in the world and foreign filmmakers can easily shoot their films,” he said, the report said.<\/p>\n
The minister vowed to open more cinema houses and shared plans in consideration to boost the industry.<\/p>\n
“The government will offer industrial and domestic rates for the electricity consumption in cinema houses,” he said. “We have slashed several taxes from cinemas.”<\/p>\n
The information minister said that the government has requested NCOC to open cinemas and “thankfully” they have been running across Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
