I have good relations with Salman Khan: Manish Paul

Unlike other films, the team visited 'Bigg Boss' house to promote their film before releasing the first trailer.

Mumbai: Any film promotion is incomplete without visiting Bigg Boss house, where the film stars promote the film right before its release but 'Tere Bin Laden: Dead Or Alive' stands out.

The team went to promote the film even before the trailer launched. At the trailer launch, when asked Manish Paul about this, he said, "I have good relations with Salman Khan. Who would leave an opportunity to promote the film?"

Except Manish, rest of the star cast will be seen in the sequel. When asked the actor about how well he connected with the cast on the sets being a new entrant, he said, "Initially I felt little left out but later I had a blast with all of them while shooting."

The first franchise 'Tere Bin Laden' was a sleeper hit which featured Ali Zafar but director Abhishek Sharma chose Manish Paul for the sequel. When asked the director about his different choice for the second edition, he replied, "Ali's journey was over in the the first part. I knew that only Manish Paul could have done this role. You will understand this after seeing the film."

Since the film deals with a sensitive issue, we asked the director if he had come across any threat so far for making two films on Osama Bin Laden, he funnily replied, "I have stopped picking calls from America, Pakistan and Syria." "I am interested in world politics so I made this film. All the big issues which have come in the past years were from American administration."

Pradhuman Singh who became star overnight shared his struggle to get a film post the first edition. He said, "I became famous overnight after playing Osama in the first part. But later no work came to me. I did 2-3 flop films but I was able to pay my rent."

"It was difficult to play laden in the first part because of the Pakistani dialect", he added.

With the recent controversy of Kiku Sharda getting arrested just for mimicking Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim, entire industry stood in favor of the comedian. When asked the team of 'Tere Bin Laden' to react on this, they all said, "Its a personal call totally. Its killing of freedom of expression. We think it's not an offense."
