Can’t we be creative for a change, please? Actress and director Sangeeta is excited that Karachi is again becoming the hub of activities related to cinema. She feels it will do the Pakistani film fraternity a world of good. Nice to know that. But she doesn’t stop here. Sangeeta madam has endorsed, in reaction to what film-maker Saeed Rizvi had suggested before her, that there’s no harm in calling Karachi’s film industry Kollywood! The reason she gives is the mother of obviousness (Bombay is Bollywood, Lahore is Lollywood, etc). So, if they started making films in Faisalabad, would it be called Follywood?
