According to Ferdous, in this age of the internet, we cannot stop anyone from watching foreign films. “The world is moving forward and we also have to move forward,” he said, “Any work is better through competition. When subcontinental movies come, we will also get a chance to compete.”

Recently, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting informed that they would greenlight a total of 10 Hindi films for import this year. Next year, in 2024, around 8 Hindi films will be imported. The ministry issued a notice in this regard on Monday.
