KARACHI: The Sindh government has announced the release of a film based on Lyari, ‘Mera Layari’, in response to the anti-Pakistan Indian film Dharandhar, which aims to present a positive and realistic picture of the region to the world.

According to him, the film ‘Mera Layari’, which will be released next month, will highlight the original culture and identity of the region.
