Karachi: A short film highlighting the growing issue of screen addiction was screened at the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), Karachi. The film, titled Screen Locked, was written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Khalid Hasan Khan and stars renowned actor Alyy Khan alongside Atabik Mohsin.
