Pakistani theatre owners are likely to lift their self-imposed ban on Indian films on December 19, 2016.A big media group and film exhibitors/distributors in India are trying to release  aamir Khan starrer `Dangal` in Pakistan. They are testing public sentiments and also the government`s reaction by releasing `Freaky Ali` at CineStar cinema. `Freaky Ali` was released in India two months ago. Aamir-Khan starrer `Dangal` is scheduled to release  on December 23. Pakistani theatre owners had suspended screening Indian films after the Indian Motion Pictures Producers` Association (IMPPA), in October, banned Pakistani artists and technicians from working in India. IMPPA`s decision followed September`s Uri terror attack that killed 19 soldiers. Cinema business in Pakistan  has been hit immensely and all stakeholders felt it was the right time to begin screening Indian films. It was always a self imposed suspension, not a ban.
