“Mahesh Bhatt presents “Daddy” – A theatrical adaptation of Mahesh Bhatt’s classic film ‘Daddy’ on 30th, 31st March and 1st April at 08:00PM in #ITF15,” the organizers posted on their official Facebook page.
Earlier, Mahesh Bhatt had thanked Pakistan government for giving clearance to visa to all Indian groups to travel to Karachi for the International Theatre Festival, Indian news channel, Zee News has reported.
“All is well that ends well. It is a happy ending for us as the Pakistan Embassy has given a NOC to all the Indian plays which were to travel to Karachi for the theatre festival. I thank them from the bottom of my heart,” Mahesh told Press Trust of India (PTI).
