Shahid took to his social media accounts to make a "humble request" to the PM which entailed that if a committee was being made to screen Indian films here, one should also be formed to ensure that Pakistani films are shown in cinemas across the border.

In the past, screening of Bin Roye in India was banned due to objections by a group called Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karmachari Sena (MNSKS).

Bowing to the demands of MNSKS, Bollywood distributor B4U films decided to ban the Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed starrer in Maharashtra.
