Salman Khan in Ek Tha Tiger

Here's what your favourite Bollywood celebritites are tweeting.

Pakistan may have restricted its cable operators from screening promos and reviews of the upcoming Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger but director Kabir Khan clarified once again that the film isn't anti-Pakistan.

'I will say it once more... #EkThaTiger is NOT anti Pakistan,' Khan tweeted.

'This is the price we have to pay because unfortunately our industry has made insensitive and jingoistic films in the past...  I am absolutely sure that once the censor board of Pakistan sees #EkThaTiger... they will be more than happy to show the film in Pakistan,' he added.

The director also assured the fans of Salman in Pakistan that the film will release in their country. 'I can assure the millions of fans of Salman in Pakistan that #EkThaTiger will release in theatres in their country. Im still a newcomer in the industry but see the vast filmography of Yash Chopra & Salman Khan... and you will realize what I'm saying. In this day and age... its stupid to make films that are insensitive or derogatory to any country or community,' he added further.
