Saif Ali Khan: Troubled to have become face of anti-Pakistan feeling

Bollywood’s Nawab Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Phantom has weathered the storm of controversies and has come out unscathed. The makers of the film are laughing all the way to the bank, as the film that had opened to a slow start is steadily gaining at the Box Office.

But actor Saif Ali Khan who though pleased with the response his film is garnering, looks quite serious. On being asked the reason behind his pensiveness the Khan confessed that he is concerned about all the negative comments he has been receiving from his Pakistani counterparts.

Saif Ali Khan said, “I don’t know if I should say this but I was upset with the action in Pakistan and how upset they’re getting and I seem to have become the face of anti-Pakistan feeling. This, I’m a little concerned about. Because my politics is the last thing that should become the question and for sure not against the people of Pakistan, I have absolutely nothing, except goodwill and hope that we manage to fix our problems.”

Saif added,”It’s (Phantom) a mission film quite simply. If you take the India and Pakistan element out of it – I didn’t want to say this during the promotion – but it’s actually a very simplistic mission film. The political element has given it some controversial edge.”

‘Phantom’stars Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, was released on August 28.
