DHOOP KINARE
Two major Pakistani dramas Dhoop Kinare and Tanhaiyaan will soon be aired in Saudi Arabia in June this year. The shows will be broadcasted with Arabic subtitles in the Muslim Kingdom, reported Arab News.
During his visit to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the Information Minister, Fawad Chaudhry announced that Islamabad would soon export its television series to the country. He stated that the move is part of a push by the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman to modernise the deeply conservative Kingdom where cinemas, public concerts and other forms of entertainment have been banned for decades.
“We have selected two very popular dramas, Dhoop Kinare and Tanhaiyaan for Arabic subtitles,” Shahzia Sikander, Director International Relations at Pakistan Television, told Arab News. She added, “We will be able to send Dhoop Kinare to Saudi Arabia by June this year.
The iconic 1987 Pakistani drama Dhoop Kinare is ready for its international audience in KSA, Saudi Arabia.
PTV's Director for International Relations, Shazia Sikander, said this will be the first time Pakistan television will be dubbing local television content for Saudi viewers.
“The information ministry will send it to Saudi Arabia through our foreign office,” Sikander told Arab News on Thursday. “We are also contacting different media houses in the Kingdom, in case they are interested in exchange of dramas or buying our dubbed content.”
She said it will not only bring international recognition towards local productions, but also help Saudi nationals understand Pakistani culture better.
It follows former information minister Fawad Chaudhry’s visit to the Saudi capital last year wherein he had announced Islamabad’s plans to exports its television series to the Kingdom soon.
