Calls for Ban on Pakistani Artists Resurface After Pahalgam Terror Attack
The recent terror attack in Pahalgam has reignited discussions surrounding the prohibition of Pakistani artists in India. This ban, initially established following the 2016 Uri attack, effectively stalled the Bollywood careers of notable actors such as Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Ali Zafar.
Amid these escalating tensions, projects featuring these artists are now facing increased uncertainty. For instance, Fawad Khan’s upcoming film, ‘Abir Gulaal,’ is under scrutiny as the political landscape shifts and public sentiment tilts towards stringent measures against cross-border collaborations.

As the situation evolves, the future of artistic expression in a collaborative environment hangs in the balance, raising significant questions about nationalism and the place of art in contentious times.
