Pakistan's Minister of Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday assured his help to filmmaker Nandita Das in lifting the ban on her latest directorial "Manto" in the country.

Chaudhry took to Twitter to extend his help, saying he was trying to convince film importers to present a "less commercial film" like the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer.

"I am trying to pursue importers to bring this movie to Pak, I hope someone will definitely take risk of showing a less commercial film to the viewers," he said.

Das thanked the minister and replied, "Shukriya @fawadchaudhry #FreeSpeech."
