So Pakistani filmmakers should make more women-centric films.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I believe we should make more films like this. I don\u2019t know why we are reluctant to talk about these issues, which is a dilemma. It is very sad that even in 2022, we are unable to give a woman her right and just respect and status in society.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<div class=\"p-alsoread\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading\">ALSO READ<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div><a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/sarmad-khoosat-indebted-to-saba-qamar-for-kamli-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarmad Khoosat Indebted to Saba Qamar For Kamli [Video]<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<p>One example of such a film would be the recent film <strong><em>Kamli<\/em><\/strong>. However, do films like these have a place in mainstream cinema? According to Saba Qamar, there haven&#8217;t been many such films from big banner production houses for long. But once the cinema landscape is more financially stable we&#8217;ll see more such films.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know how many big banner films have been made in offbeat genres in recent years, whether they are by Nadeem Baig or by Nabeel Qureshi. They all are very commercial fun movies. Makers are cautious and may be waiting for the right time when cinema starts their business properly and generate more revenue than enough budgets would be available for experimenting with out-of-the-box ideas or issue-based films.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As for item numbers, the Baaghi actress doesn&#8217;t understand the opposition to the idea if it is a requirement of the script.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If item number is the requirement or demand of the script, then why not? I am okay with it. If you have done it very decently, in appropriate dress, according to our culture and values, then I think there should not be any objection. I don\u2019t know what negativity is attached to the item number. I believe all of this depends on how we perceive things.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the subject of future plans, the <strong><em>Manto<\/em><\/strong> diva stated that she wants to play the role of a politician.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Any biopic of a female politician like Benazir Bhutto or Maryam Nawaz.
