LAHORE: Film Director Syed Noor is dejected over the approach of multiplex cinema owners who ignored his just-released Punjabi film Teray Bajray Di Rakhi.

Speaking to the media in the company of producer Safdar Malik and actor Iftikhar Thakur, Noor said his film was not about language but about script. He said he had no complaints against multiplex cinema managements, but he was feeling dishearten for not finding space for his film’s screening at multiplexes.

He said in consultation with other producers and directors they were going to form a committee to reopen and update single screen cinemas in Pakistan.
