Leading Pakistani actor Shimon Abbasi has joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). In an interview to a private website, Shimon Abbasi confirmed his joining the PTI, saying, "I did not join the PTI as a politician, but to further develop and revive the media industry." What is it.
"With regard to the showbiz industry, we have formulated some new policies and sent them to the government, which have accepted them and started implementing them," he said. Shimon Abbasi thanked Prime Minister Imran Khan for his support.
Talking about the policies made for the showbiz industry, the actor said that our industry needs rules and regulations as there are no formal agreements so there are a lot of payment issues. We will make it a legal issue. A department is being set up to look into the matter, which will visit the sets without notice and ensure that work is being done professionally everywhere. If a producer hires someone without a contract, he will be questioned.
Talking about the meeting to be held with actors, producers and technicians, Shimon Abbasi said that everyone had registered their concerns and grievances at the meeting. The most common complaints in the showbiz industry are non-payment on time or the actor took the money and then hung the producer in the middle. So these things need to be looked at first and an effective system needs to be created.
He said that the government has been suggested to invest in some projects, tradition, culture, sports, religion or history to provide funds for any project. New and fresh stories are needed to revive cinema.
Shimon Abbasi also stressed the need for an OTT platform and said that the OTT platform needs to be used to promote local content (where people show their content through the internet).
Citing the example of Indian streaming website Zee Five, the actor said that many of our talented actors are being hired abroad and it is a shame for us that we are not able to provide them with a local platform where they can Show off your talent.

Citing the Indian web series "Mirzapur" and "Gang of Wasipur" as examples, Shimon Abbasi said that such content is also popular here. But we never thought where we would show it if we ever produced such content because there is no TV option to release it.
