Sanam Saeed, star of the movie ‘Ishrat Made in China’, was clearly looking forward to promotional banners – when she found none at a local Karachi cinema, she lashed out. She was especially peeved because the hall in question belongs to Jamil Baig, the movie’s producer. She wrote: “A little disappointed in Nueplex cinemas for not putting up any of our film posters, especially on Rashid Minhas Road. People will always come to see superhero films. They have a long legacy behind them. Pakistani films need cinemas' support. JB Films, please see to it.” But if she was expecting an apology, Saeed had another thing coming. The team on site hit back, writing, “promotional material is the responsibility of the distributor/producer” and even though the movie has few fans, it’s continuing to keep the show up.
