Cinema owners in Pakistan will again allow screening of Bollywood films nearly four months afterimposing a banon movies from across the border over military tensions linked to the
disputed Kashmir region."It is step for peace and harmony," Nadeem Mandviwala, head of Karachi-based Atrium Cinemas, told Al Jazeera.The suspension of Bollywood screenings was part of a series of tit-for-tat measures after an attack on an army post in Indian-administered Kashmir in September left 19 Indian soldiers dead.The measure came after Bollywood producers banned Pakistani artists in Indian films."If you ask people in bothcountries, they will say 'yes' to trade despite hostilities. We need to defeat the agenda of extremists in both the countries,"Mandviwala said.
