I am dying to come to Pakistan: Kapoor

Actor on need for Indo-Pak collaborations

While Pakistani actors continue to make it big in Bollywood, it’s nice to see that India’s bigwigs too are more than willing to do the same on this side of the border. Superstar Anil Kapoor, who produced Fawad Khan’s Bollywood debut Khoobsurat, has become the latest to express his desire to visit Pakistan.

“I will definitely come to Pakistan if I get an invitation. I think I will visit soon,” Voice of America quoted the Dil Dhadakne Do actor as saying. “I always say this and it is a fact that I am dying to come to Pakistan.”

Expressing his love for his Pakistani fans, he said, “I feel so happy when Pakistanis love my films. We are brothers and sisters … I am just an entertainer and it’s my job to entertain people whether they are in Pakistan or India.”



The 1942: A Love Story star emphasised the need for joint productions, claiming, “It’s about time Pakistan and India start co-productions. We should be given permission to shoot in Pakistan.”

Kapoor feels the Pakistani censor board needs to be a little more lenient. “They need to be a little liberal for the betterment of the film industry.” He also sent a big shout to his Pakistani audience, thanking them for their love and support.
