Various Pakistani actors have now been working in different movies across the border, which has become a serious concern for the Indian cinema. However, the ‘Cine and Television Artistes Association’ (Cintaa) in India has decided to take strict action against actors who have not completed the required visa formalities and ones who have not enrolled under this union. Foreign artistes who are planning to work in Bollywood have to now register under the ‘Cintaa’ before starting their work in this film industry. Pakistani singer turned actor "Ali Zafar" who has worked with many Bollywood projects has also been summoned by Cintaa to prove his employment visa. This is starting to become a serious matter for Pakistanis who want to work in India,since people don’t want to go through this long process. This process is time consuming and messes with the actors shooting and schedules. Ali Zafar while talking to local media said, “Indeed, I was contacted by Cintaa via e-mail to clear confusion regarding some documents, which was promptly done by my office to their satisfaction”. However, the singer refused to comment on whether the new restrictions by Cintaa are going to have an impact on cross border collaborations of Pakistani artistes.
Ali Zafar working on visitor Visa in India:
President Gajendra Chauhan of Cintaa accused Ali Zafar for working in Indian cinema without a work permit. He said Pakistani singer initially come to India for work, he had the required visa which was later extended till 2012. However, after 2013 Ali has been working on a visitor visa which is not acceptable. Chauhan said, “We have written to the External Affairs ministry asking for guidelines to be followed by Pakistani artistes who come to seek work here. Pakistan has not been kind to Indian artistes and their artistes come and take away our people’s work here; this is not acceptable to us at all,”
CINTAA accuses Ali Zafar of working on expired Visa in India:
What do you guys think, is this action needed? Should Pakistani actors have to go through this process,or is this just a jealousy act?
