2003 onwards
In early years between 2000–2003, Pashto films seemed to have lost their fans due to restrictions by the MMA
government on their publicity through banners and posters of the film stars. The labourers who come to the provincial capital, Peshawar for manual jobs used to watch Pashto films in cinemas, but due to the ban the audience of the Pashto film has reduced tremendously because it usually comprises the working class who cannot even read the names of film stars.
Since 2003 Pashto films have changed its trend with new young generation of actors like Arbaz Khan, son of Legendary Film Star Asif Khan. His first Pashto film MEENA QURBANI GHUWARI became a huge hit in 2003. In 2004 there were few flops but average films were Niazbeen & Khybarey. ASHNAGHAREY did great business and made good profits for its distributors in Peshawar
, Mardan
& Swat district. In 2006 a new director Liaqat Ali Khan made a name for himself with a Super Hit film "SABAR SHA ZARGIYA" starring Arbaz Khan , Jehangir Khan , Ajab Gul
& Asma
. The songs of Sabar Sha Zargiya became very popular and the film was an instant hit the moment it hit the silver screens. Arbaz Khans cousin Yousaf Khan who is elder brother of Amir Khan did a Music Video on a song WALEY BAWAR NAKAWEY from film SABAR SHA ZARGIYA. Another film "LAG DEY ZRA NA TAPOS OKA became a good hit as well at the box office
In March 2007 Arbaz Khan took another curve in his film career when he started his first film direction called STA MOHABBAT ZAMA SAZA SHUWA.

Future of Pashto Film Industry
Future of the Pashto film industry seems to be bright as there are still some people who want to do something for the betterment of the industry. For instance, Ajab Gul, who is a renowned actor and director in both the Urdu and the Pashto film industry. In 1999 he made a film, ‘Srre Sttergae’(red eyes) and through this film he proved that still there is a great potential in Pashto films as the story for the first time after many years was quite different and the cast, especially the heroine(s) were new and seemed that after a great hard work the film was completed. A few months back, another Pashto film, ‘Qalam au Kalashnikov’, written by Faiz Mohammad released. The standard was quite good and people liked the movie.
This is to correct the record pertaining the pashto film Kala khazan kala bahar ,its hero was Hmayun qureshi and Not Aman.

Call to screen Pashto films in Afghanisan demanded
The Frontier Post
PESHAWAR (PPI): Pashto films producers and directors on Tuesday demanded of the federal government to making arrangements of launching Pashto films in Afghanistan and Dubai, which they claimed would help to revive film industry. “Pashto films, which compared to Punjabi and Urdu production in 2006, have been successful on the box office and it gave maximum business to the Pakistan Film Industry however because of the limited circuit, producers are avoiding talking risk to maximize its budget” Pashto film producer and actor Asif Khan, Arbaz Khan and film maker Hajji Nadir told a joint news conference at Peshawar Press Club. Pashto films, they said were the only productions in 2006 that remained hit on box office and encouraged the producers to invest more in film making however government should take step to open Afghanistan and Dubai markets for releasing Pashto films, which could a give boost to ‘sinking business’ of the film making in Pakistan. On the eve of Eidul Azha, four Pashto, four Punjabi films and some Urdu films were released however except Pashto films, Punjabi and Urdu remained dead flop on the box office, film producers Asif Khan remarked saying if provincial government helped them with equipments and other facilities they would produce Pashto films inside the provincial capital and not go to Lahore for it. Asif Khan, who has been most successful Pashto actor, announced to re-functionalize his Production Company, CWI Production, in case his new Pashto film gained success on the circuit. “I am welling to re-start my CWI Production after 20 years if our new Pashto film “Sta Muhabat Zama Saza Shwa” attracts viewers’ attention. Arbaz Khan, who would be directing the film for the first time, said “Sta Muhabat Zama Saza Shwa’ would be new changes in Pashto film making and new face naming Amir Khan; a UK returned young man would be introduced in the film under his direction. Arbaz claimed that new Pashto films, despite its lowest budget are doing fine on the box office as except Majajen, neither Punjabi nor Urdu film competed Pashto films in business. “We need government patronage to produce films like Urbal, Didan and Dara-e-Khyber, the most hit movies of the past as government is paying nothing to film industry in return of 63% revenue Pakistan government generating of film business” he added. To a question he said co-production with India is not bad however it should be on parity basis and like Pakistani artists, Indian actors should work in Pakistani films. “I am not in favor of degrading our selves by acting in Indian films just as guest actors” he observed.
