Bollywood stands divided on the issue of hiring Pakistani artists and technicians in Indian films. The IMPPA had passed a unanimous resolution at the annual general meeting, a few days back, urging all their members to stop working with artists and technicians from across the border until bi-lateral tensions die down.
