Actor Saif Ali Khan has blurred the fine line between patriotism and jingoism with his anti-Pakistan statement. He has been facing extreme reactions over social media in Pakistan from its very first trailer launch. But now, he is concerned about being a face of anti-Pakistan feeling.
According to an Indian media reports, ‘Phantom’ actor 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,” he 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,” NDTV reported.
Saif, while during a promotion of his latest release passed many controversial statements against Pakistan which created rage among the Pakistanis. Either it was a promotional tactic or he really meant it is still unclear. However, after lots of controversy, the movie is doing fairly well on box office in India.
