Pakistani showbiz starlet Hamza Ali Abbasi, who is known for his views on Islamic values, detailed more about his stance on item numbers in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

In a recent interview, Hamza Abbasi once again shared his point of view about item numbers in Pakistan.

He said, “It has a negative impact,” Abbasi said, adding, “It is bad from a religious point of view, it’s bad even from a secular point of view. You don’t demean a woman onscreen and call it art.” Comparing item numbers with strip shows, the actor went on, “It’s just my opinion but why are strip shows not art? We can show that on our television from let’s say 10 pm to 11 pm. In my head, there’s a distinction between art.”

Detailing about buying followers, Hamza Abbasi laughed and said, “If I bought followers, it wouldn’t take me seven years to get 3.1 million followers. When you buy followers, that time limit is just for six months for let’s say 10 million. If I were to buy followers, I would definitely buy 10 million.”

On the other hand, Abbasi is all set to star in Bilal Lashari’s The Legend of Maula Jatt as the antagonist, Noori Natt. The film also stars Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Humaima Malick, Gohar Rasheed, Ali Azmat and others.

Earlier, the Alif actor had made his Netflix subscription cancelled over the ongoing Netflix film Cuties controversy.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Abbasi attached had a confirmation of his cancelled subscription by the streaming platform. The tweet read, “Despite global condemnation, Netflix still went ahead & released CUTIES! Yup, now we have softcore Pedo Porn on a mainstream media platform. That’s a deal-breaker for me. Can’t do much but what I can do is cancel my Netflix subscription, maybe YOU SHOULD TOO! #cutiesnetflix”
