Thanks for the help but I’ve reconsidered it and I’m going to try my luck in Bollywood instead. They’ve got better equipment and much higher budget, not to mention the growing popularity. I was reading an article and it said that Pakistan doesn’t even have a post production studio.

Well your right about the budget and equipment thing but even bollywood and hollywood started with low budgets and people started taking more interest. Trust me you can’t become a bollywood director simply cuz your a Pakistani. It will be hard enough for you to get a visa to India. Even if you by chance get a visa, it’s not like you’ll approach a producer and he’ll sign you right away. It takes at least 2 years to years to get in the industry and I doubt your visa can be extended for 2 years.
