It
was
reported
earlier
that
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif
starer
Ek
Tha
Tiger
has
been
banned
in
Pakistan
because
the
government
felt
that
the
movie
is
anti
Pakistan
and
shows
ISI
in
bad
light.
But
now,
it
has
been
confirmed
that
the
movie
will
not
be
banned
in
Pakistan.
When
TOI,
contacted
Pakistan
Electronic
Media
Regulatory
Authority
(PEMRA)
spokesman
and
general
manager
Fakhruddin
Mughal,
he
denied
the
news
and
said,
"No,its
not
true.I
haven't
seen
the
story
or
heard
such
news.
There
is
no
such
letter
issued
by
PEMRA.
As
per
my
knowledge,we
have
not
issued
any
letter
to
any
cable
operator
regarding
this
movie."
When
Ek
Tha
Tiger
director
Kabir
Khan
heard
the
rumours
that
his
movie
will
be
banned
in
Pakistan,
he
tweeted,
"It's
disturbing
for
Ek
Tha
Tiger
to
be
perceived
as
an
anti-Pakistan
film.
But
it
isn't
surprising.
Look
at
the
cheap
jingoistic
anti-Pakistan
films
that
have
released
over
the
years.
We
can't
really
blame
them
if
they
perceive
Ek
Tha
Tiger
as
one
such
film."
Kabir
khan
further
wrote,
"Neither
Salman
nor
I
have
ever
visited
Pakistan.
So
why
not?
We
are
willing
to
do
anything
that's
required
to
make
Pakistanis
believe
that
our
project
is
not
against
them.
I
don't
think
the
trailer
being
banned
is
a
big
deal.
Once
the
film
releases,
the
truth
will
be
out."
