Sir — I still stand by the idea that art isn’t political and can’t be politicised, and artistes have been caught in the middle of something they did not ask for. But then, what takes precedence depends on the situation. That said, maybe Pakistan has many goo-looking actors, but even in India, we have equally talented men who are vying to be actors.
Unfortunately, the HIndi film industry has this itch to cast anything foreign, especially actors and singers. Even down south, Tamil and Telugu film-makers look only for Hindi film models, actors and singers, despite local talent available in plenty.
