Pakistani Movie 'Mera Layari' Poster Out: Pakistan to Make Film in Response to 'Dhurandar'

Pakistan is not taking kindly to the film ‘Dhurandhar’. Instead of admitting the truth, it is beating the drum about making a film on Lyari.

The movie ‘Dhurandhar’ is being discussed everywhere, especially in Pakistan, where it has caused sleepless nights. Pakistan claims that the story of the film ‘Dhurandhar’ is false and that there is no such thing as Layari, nor any violence there. In this context, the Sindh government of Pakistan announced on Saturday that it would make a film.

Film Poster Released

Sharjeel Inam Memon, the Information Minister of Pakistan's Sindh province, announced on his social media account X, writing: "The Indian film ‘Dhurandhar’ is another example of negative propaganda by the Bollywood industry against Pakistan, especially Layari. Layari is not a place of violence, but a symbol of culture, peace, talent, and the struggle to overcome adversity. Therefore, next month, a film named ‘Mera Layari’ will be released, which will showcase the true identity of Layari – peace and prosperity."

It is noteworthy that the film ‘Dhurandhar’ has been banned in 6 Gulf countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.

Demand Arises in Pakistan Over Portrayal of Terrorism

Two days ago, a report emerged from Pakistan stating that a petition had been filed in a Karachi court against the Indian film ‘Dhurandhar’. The allegations include the unauthorized use of pictures of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, PPP flags, and footage of party rallies in the film. Furthermore, the film is accused of portraying the PPP as a party that supports terrorism. A demand was also made to register an FIR against the film's actors, Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal.
