'Milan Talkies' Will Not Release in Pakistan: Tigmanshu Dhulia
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia says his forthcoming film Milan Talkies will not release in Pakistan.
After the Pulwama terror attack earlier this month, some Indian filmmakers decided against the release of their films like Luka Chuppi and Arjun Patiala in the neighbouring country.
Asked whether he will release Milan Talkies in Pakistan, Dhulia told the media here on Tuesday: "No. It will not be released in Pakistan. There are two reasons for that. First one is that we stand in solidarity with the martyrs' families.
"The second reason is that piracy of Hindi films takes place from Pakistan so, I feel that we should never release our films in Pakistan for that specific reason."
