Pakistani Prime Minister wants to reassess film screening ban joylandwho was nevertheless chosen to represent the country at the Oscars.
The film, which features a love story between a married man and a transgender woman, won an award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
But the film has sparked controversy in Pakistan and state censors last week banned its showing in cinemas, rescinding a previous green light for the release.
A tweet sent late last night by an adviser to Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, however, says a committee has been formed to review the ban.
