The
promo
of
Salman
Khan
starrer
Ek
Tha
Tiger
has
been
banned
in
Pakistan.
The
government
of
Pakistan
feels
that
the
ISI
has
been
showcased
in
a
bad
way
in
the
film.
So,
they
have
asked
cable
operators
across
the
country
to
refrain
from
screening
promos
and
reviews
of
Ek
Tha
Tiger.
But
Salman
Khan
and
director
Kabir
Khan
are
not
very
happy
with
the
ban
and
to
clarify
the
misunderstanding
they
will
visit
Pakistan
soon.
Kabir
Khan
told
a
leading
daily,
"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
added,
"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."
Earlier
this
year,
in
March,
Pakistani
censors
had
banned
Saif
Ali
Khan's
Agent
Vinod
as
it
portrayed
the
ISI
in
a
bad
light.
