While the Oscar contender film “Joyland” is in jeopardy, celebrities have extended their support and expressed their stance about releasing the labour of love in Pakistan.
However, some prominent people have also lauded the ban including Maria B and Feroze Khan. The Khaani actors supported Maria B’s stance on the ban of the feature film Joyland. He compared her mindset to a Rolls Royce with a 100-year road life.
‘- Maria B’s mindset – Is like Rolls Royce 100 year road life while “other” you know who are like those rotten scooties. Push push no move , you dirty.’, he tweeted.
