Pakistani actors digitally erased from Bollywood promotional content

Pakistani actors have reportedly been removed from Bollywood film posters and promotional content on Indian streaming platforms. The move appears to be part of a broader digital cultural boycott amid deteriorating diplomatic relations. Platforms including Netflix India and Amazon Prime Video have edited visuals to exclude Pakistani talent, further erasing cross-border collaboration from the public eye. Critics argue this digitally enforced erasure not only undermines artistic freedom but also feeds into divisive nationalist sentiment, weaponising culture in a digital propaganda war.
