Kabir Khan Talks About Karachi Airport Incident

Filmmaker Kabir Khan, who was threatened by several shoe-wielding protesters during his departure at the Karachi airport yesterday, has finally addressed the issue.  The Phantom director, who visited Pakistan for a marketing conference, told Mumbai Mirror, “It's alright for people to express their opinions but there is a way to do it. I'm open to healthy discussions. My film was made because it tackled an important issue”. He added, “I will continue to make films that I believe in. I have always worked on political dramas and such things don't deter me”.

The Bajrangi Bhaijaan director further said, “It was my first time in Karachi. I was only there for a day but I had a great time interacting with the delegates. People there had certain views and reservations about Phantom but they posed questions and I answered them. That's how a civil discussion is meant to be. One stray incident with a bunch of mad men wouldn't deter me. Fringe elements don't represent all of Pakistan, the people I met had warmth and goodwill”.

He elaborated, “These are the kind of extremists that Phantom spoke about. I tried addressing their issues but they were interested in filming videos on phones. Such people are extremists and forget that if I directed Phantom, I have also made Bajrangi Bhaijaan”. It seems that the hassle around Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer film is in no mood to end anytime soon.
