Kabir Khan: I’m amused that Hafiz Saeed has filed a petition

Director Kabir Khan has reasons to smile his recent release Bajrangi Bhaijaan is reaping at the Box Office. Now the director is busy promoting his upcoming film Phantom. Recently the Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan starrer has run into trouble with regards to its release in Pakistan.

Apparently Hafiz Saeed the master mind behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks has sought a ban on Phantom’s release in Pakistan. Phantom is about the post-26/11 attacks in Mumbai and global terrorism. It is an adaptation of author Hussain Zaidi’s book ‘Mumbai Avengers’.

Kabir Khan said, “Whenever there is a political backdrop, the film will be banned in the other country. Our topic is not about the ban on the film, but we are amused that a terrorist has gone and filed a petition that we are spreading poison against Pakistan. There has been no reaction like this… then why Hafiz Saeed’s extremist views are being projected louder than a common man.”
