Another Pakistani film banned, claiming that it portrays ‘negative image of Muslims’

What happened: The film story of a Pakistani-American family living in Chicago starring Qavi Khan, Faran Tahir and Nikita Tewani has been banned by the censor board, as the filmmaker Iram Parveen claims. Iram Parveen, the Pakistani American filmmaker, claimed that her film  “I’ll Meet You There”  was banned by Pakistan’s federal censor board for claiming to depict a negative image of Muslims.  Details: At the same time, it is pertinent to mention that the film was also nominated for the Narrative Feature Grand Jury Award. However, in a statement to Variety, Bilal the film’s director said,  “My latest film, I’ll Meet You There, was banned by the Pakistan federal censor board a week ahead of our intended premiere.”  Bilal also claimed that his film was not suggested any cuts,  “but straight away banned.”  More: It is pertinent to mention that this is not the first time that a film was banned in Pakistan as Yasir Hussain’s  “Javed Chaudhry”  movie was banned by the censor board. In an interview with Variety, Bilal added,  “A film that was made with blood, sweat and tears by a Muslim, financed by a Muslim and made in the face of a post 9/11 world and a Trump presidency, a film whose very purpose was to combat Islamophobia and to create a positive portrayal of Muslims.”
