'Taj Mahal' to be released in Pakistan

Mumbai, Mar 25: Akbar Khan's epic film 'Taj Mahal-An Eternal Love Story' will be the first Indian Hindi film in the last 40 years to be released in Pakistan.

He said it was a moment of joy for him that his labour of love was being recognised outside the country.

''I had put up a request with the Culture and External Affairs Ministries in Pakistan that even though India and Pakistan are two different countries, they once shared common history and heritage.

History cannot be ignored. I am glad that my request was accepted,'' he added.
