On Tuesday, Pakistani actor, Usman Mukhtar took to Instagram and announced that he has delayed the release of his film titled Bench due to ongoing bloodshed in Gaza by Israeli forces.

He continued, “However, as excited as we are to show you our work, we are beyond devastated seeing all the atrocities being carried out in Palestine. In the wake of the unfolding events and out of respect for the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Palestine, we have decided to delay the release. Will release it in happier times. Inshallah!”
