Director Kabir Khan who is making headlines on his success of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ has now geared up for the promotions of his upcoming film ‘Phantom’.
Recently during the trailer launch, director Kabir Khan indulged into a heated argument with a journalist. When asked about Saif Ali Khan’s earlier film ‘Agent Vinod’ which was banned in Pakistan, as per media reports, Kabir Khan got offended saying that why word terrorism is always referred to Pakistan.
According to Indian media reports, the director shouted back at the journalist saying that people have a mindset of terrorist coming from Pakistan, which is not true at all according to him. He expressed his unhappiness saying, “This film is about a mindset, I am the director of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and I am the director of ‘Phantom’, both the films come with a same ideology. People to people friendship can’t happen as long as these extremist elements exist in either country. And these elements have to be eliminated for both the countries to get along peacefully.”
A journalist took exception to this statement and shouted at Kabir, who shouted back at the journalist saying."First do not talk to me like that. I do not appreciate it. Come over here, let me see your face and have a normal conversation. Do not get into all these talks. If you're getting into screaming, shouting and frothing, then I'm not going to get into this discussion," he added.
However, the director claims that the film is not 'anti-Pakistan' but 'anti-terrorism'. The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala with UTV Motion Pictures and music by Pritam, is set to release August 28.
