 New Delhi : Sunny Deol and Irrfan Khan starrer `Right Yaaa Wrong' was released on 21 screens in Pakistan and producer Subhash Ghai says he didn't face any problems distributing the film there even though Islamabad had banned Indian films for nearly four decades.
The ban was lifted in 2008. "We got information from our overseas distributor that he sees good prospect to release the film there (Pakistan) as Irrfan Khan and Sunny Deol are very popular actor there. The film has hit 21 screens in Pakistan. As such there was no problem in releasing the film," Ghai told the media.
In Pakistan, the movie has released in Capri Cinema and Cine Plex in Karachi, New Majestic Cinema in Hyderabad, Prince Cinema, D.H.A and Cine Star in Lahore, Taj Mahal in Faisalabad, Dreamland Cinema in Multan, Cine Plex in Rawalpindi and Kashmir Mahal in Gujranwala.
Earlier this month, the Lahore High Court dismissed a petition to ban Indian movies after the country's players were not selected at the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction in Mumbai in January.
Justice Waqar Hasan, who heard the case, said he does not find any reason to ban Indian movies since it was a decision of private franchises. Written and directed by debutant Neeraj Pathak, `Right Yaaa Wrong' revolves around two cops - Ajay Shridhar (Sunny) and Vinay Patnaik (Irrfan) and their intense rivalry. It also features Eesha Koppikhar and Konkona Sen Sharma.
