Last year PakistaniCinema.Net wrote about the conspicuous absence of any marketing, announcement, or even a hint of news regarding Shoaib Mansoor’s latest film “Aasman Bolay Ga”.
Now, the lead actress of the film Maya Ali has posted about the film and why it wasn’t released for so long.
Allegedly the film was put on hold for being “too Anti-India”. However, now, with hostilities escalating between Pakistan and India, it is possibly the right time to release it.
Maya Ali says the film’s message is about “humanity”, and that all this time it was Pakistanis who were expected to hold out the hand of friendship while “…top A-list Indian actors took on roles that glorified negativity and painted Pakistan in a bad light..”
Maya urges the authorities to release the film now. “Let the sky speak so that the world hears the true voice”, writes Maya Ali.
‘Aasman Bolay Ga’ is about Operation Swift Retort, the retaliatory response carried put by Pakistan for the Balakot airstrikes by the Indian Air Force.
There is no release date yet, but if the current sentiment is any guide, it may be sooner than we think.
