Police called in after someone overheard Jami discussing 'Pak-Afghan story' at US cafe

'Someone calls the police and four cops show up thinking we [are] Isis or something,' the filmmaker wrote on...

Jami -- who's riding high after the success of his film Moor -- is in the US these days to participate in the Palm Springs Festival. And although the talented filmmaker has received immense praise for his movie, he was in for a rude surprise when cops were called on him.

Yes! You read that right. Apparently, Jami was discussing a 'Pak-Afghan story' (perhaps his next film?) at a cafe in New York when somebody alerted the police after they overheard him.

The director later took to Facebook to share the incident and uploaded a picture of a police officer inspecting their passports. "Some one calls police and four cop shows up thinking we [are] Isis or something," his post read.
