It is not clear whether in this case the producer owned the rights, or the rights were owned by the writer. It all depends upon the contract they had with each other in 1979. If the writer owns the rights, then they already have him on board. If the producer owned the rights, then they need to get them from him; and very surprised that they are thinking about it now upon film completion, rather than at the start.
Plus why is it inappropriate for Islamabad audience, while being ok for Rawalpindi audience? Punjab hasn't banned the film. I think this whole idea of censor boards being owned by individual provinces is a dumb idea and has done nothing but cause confusion and unnecessary attention seeking behavior in the case of Maalik, NMA2 and now Verna.
Maalik was pretty intense, Pakistani cinema should celebrate all types of movies - it’s not always about fluff.
