NASEERUDIN Shah recently came out out with his memoir which was titled “And Then One Day”. How wonderful it would be if popular Pakistani actors, actresses, directors, etc., also came out with their memoirs.

There are several institutions that produce films on many subjects and can come out with a memoir of their own so that their names may live on.

It is not an easy job to produce a film that leaves an everlasting impact. The selection of good actors and a well-written script go a long way in making the film a box-office hit.

There are many Pakistani documentaries that have become milestones and it would be good if some books were written about them too.
