Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday urged Pakistani filmmakers to focus on original content and adopt new approaches in filmmaking.
Addressing the prize distribution ceremony of the National Amateur Short Film Festival (NASFF) in Islamabad, the premier said he had seen Pakistani cinema evolve over time.
He said mistakes were committed at the beginning since the Pakistani film industry was "impressed" by Bollywood which resulted in copying and adopting another culture.
"So the most important thing I want to say to young filmmakers is that according to my experience of the world, only originality sells — the copy has no value," the prime minister said.
