Actor Yasir Hussain is angry with the idea of Indian director Sanjay Leela Bhansali making a series based on ‘Heeramandi’.
The actor questioned why despite being a place in Lahore are Indians making series on such issues and not Pakistani filmmakers. He shared a snap on his Instagram story and ranted about how Pakistanis filmmakers ignore the idea of making a project over it.
According to the actor, when someone else works on it then Pakistanis blame and point out mistakes. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is an Indian filmmaker, who is now focusing on the small screen with the Netflix series ‘Heeramandi’, interestingly a part of Pakistan.
