A source reveals, "Last year Madhur had been approached by the Karachi Film Festival and he had kept away at the time as well. This year too, the director, who thrives on realistic cinema has been asked to be a part of the festival in March.
However, Bhandarkar isn't showing any interest for the same. And given the current scenario between the two nations, he is more keen to stay away."
A source close to Madhur reveals, "Madhur doesn't want to be part of any festival associated to Pakistan." His films have been showcased in Berlin, Moscow, LA, and Indian Film Festival.u00a0
Ali confirms, "I've approached Madhur to showcase his movies in the festival. But the festival is currently on hold due to the current situation between the countries. It is yet in the preliminary stages."
