That’s the spirit (perhaps)! Lollywood director Syed Noor is adamant that the industry he represents stand on its feet. He encourages everyone and anyone who belongs to his fraternity.

That is exactly why immediately after reports of the film Sultanat’s success reached him (though the success is yet to be measured) he went to meet the director of the movie Faisal Bukhari at a local hotel and congratulated him. Good going, Shahji. We hope someone will soon congratulate you for the same reason, too.
