It's a great honour for us to welcome such a renowned director. Muzaffar Ali's Umrao Jaan is truly a classic that no other director has been able to remake after all these years. I hope our veteran Pakistani TV directors would come together with Mr. Muzaffar, and arrange some workshops for young Pakistani directors. We should make the most out of this opportunity.
