Director Asim Abbasi in a recent Twitter thread has expressed his frustration with increased censorship in Pakistan. Abbasi's rant came after his critically acclaimed series Churails became inaccessible for the Pakistani audience.

"How strange for Churails to be lauded internationally, and now be shut down in its country of origin. In the very country where hundreds of artists came together to create something that could initiate dialogue and open doors for new narratives," he said.

Adding on Abbasi went on to deem his series being not available for viewing in the country as a "loss for women and marginalised communities".
