Yeh Aman

The film ran into trouble with the Pakistani censors, who wanted the director to remove all references to an independent Kashmiri state. Keeping in line with official government stance, the censor board wanted the film to convey the message that the people of Kashmir wanted to be free from Indian rule and become part of Pakistan. Riaz Shahid wanted to portray the truth, but was forced to relent. He was heart-broken when his version of the film was not allowed to play and was edited to please the government. He fell ill during this process, and died within the next year, before completing his last film.
