Veteran screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar was asked if the ban on Pakistani artistes working in films was valid, as Fawad Khan’s upcoming film Abir Gulaal has been banned by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry. Javed said that such a question had two answers and he proceeded to explain them both in an interaction with PTI on Tuesday.

Javed Akhtar told PTI, “The first question should be whether we should allow the Pakistani artistes here. There are two answers, both …
