imageBollywood actor Saif Ali Khan who is coming up with an anti-Pakistan movie ‘Phantom’ said that he doesn't have faith in Pakistan and that he doesn't understand our ideology.

According to BollywoodLife.com, ‘Phantom’ actor said, “I don’t have faith in Pakistan, generally. Neither do I understand what their thought processes are. I have no problems with Pakistan and I won’t make a film that’s against the country. But now they have banned the film. We have always shared a very complicated relationship. If you tell uncomfortable truths, films get banned. We keep banning each other’s films”.

Kabir Khan directorial venture has faced ban in Pakistan due to inappropriate content regarding Jamaat-ud-Daawa chief Hafiz Saeed. Lahore High Court has accepted a petition filed by Hafeez Saeed, who was seeking a ban on the film in Pakistan.

While reacting to the ban, Saif said, “If you try making a film which portrays a certain element of truth, something that makes Pakistan a little bit uncomfortable, they will ban it. They did that with many of my films, so I have faced it already. But that doesn’t necessarily dictate what kind of movies we should make. If that did, we would end up making only films like Race,” Indian media reported.

“They are not admitting that he is a terrorist. He is not admitting he is a terrorist. So, I mean, I actually believe in an individual’s rights, but if a country is backing them up, then it’s great,” he added.

‘Phantom’ stars Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. The movie will hit theatres on August 28 in India.
