While talking about this whole issue, a Pakistani producer said, “It is a random threat from a random Twitter handle, but the Censor Board has asked cinema owners to tighten security. Such mischievous elements are present in every country; there is no particular organisation or political party that has taken offence to the screening of Indian films. The Censor Board panel includes people from our Army and they had approved theatrical exhibition of Bajrangi Bhaijaan here. Had there been any anti-Pak message in the film, it wouldn’t have been certified in the first place,” Bollywood Life reported.
