A Pakistani version of Netflix is ready to be launched, claims Fawad Chaudhry
While it sounds like a great idea in theory, Twitter had some reservations.
Recently, the Federal Minister of Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry announced via social media that a Pakistani version of Netflix was in the works.
"We are all set to launch Pakistan’s first OTT TV (Pak version of #Netflix). Technology part is complete, have asked PEMRA to prepare a guideline on content and we will be all set to launch in PPP mode, it'll be just another humble contribution," he wrote.
While netizens had reservations about the content that would be allowed for streaming, industry celebrities too, took to social media to share their two cents regarding the matter.
"Can literally anyone else prepare the guidelines?" he exclaimed.
"Thank you for the much needed initiative," he thanked the authorities.
"This can be huge for our entertainment industry," he hopes.
Waiting to see how this turns out.
