Indian journalist shouts at Kabir Khan for defending Pakistan

Bajrangi Bhaijaan director says it's the negative mindset of people that makes them think of Pakistan as an enemy

According to Kabir it's the negative mindset of people that makes them think of Pakistan as a terrorist country.

All hell broke loose when filmmaker Kabir Khan spoke about the ideologies of his movies at a press conference of his upcoming movie Phantom, infuriating a journalist who started yelling at the Bajrangi Bhaijaan director.

As Kabir, Katrina and Saif entertained questions, things heated up when Saif was asked about the reaction of his Pakistani relatives on Phantom -- which seems like an anti-Pakistan movie from its trailer -- as earlier, Saif's Agent Vinod too was banned in Pakistan.

During the press conference, a journalist said that India is making movies that portray Pakistan as a terrorist country to which Kabir retorted saying that it's the negative mindset people have embraced that makes them think of Pakistan as a terrorist country.

According to the filmmaker both his movies, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Phantom, do not bash Pakistan but promote harmony and 'people to people friendship'.

"We have a mindset that the terrorists -- who are doing things that are anti-India -- represent Pakistan. They don't represent Pakistan. That is the whole point of this film. That's the whole point of Bajrangi Bhaijaan," Kabir said.

He stressed that such extremist mentality should be eliminated to ensure 'people to people friendship'.

Kabir's words drew a shocking reaction from a journalist who started yelling at the film maker.
