Kabir Khan mobbed at Karachi airport for making anti-Pakistani' films

You people send Jhadav and kill hundreds here. Why don't you make a movie about it? a protester asked Kabir.

Mumbai: Bollywood filmmaker Kabir Khan, who flew to Karachi to attend a conference, was mobbed by angry protesters at the airport on Wednesday.

A large group of protesters shouted angry slogans at the ‘Phantom’ director when he arrived at Karachi airport to board a flight for Lahore. While many chanted anti-India and pro-Pakistan slogans, few protesters turned on Kabir and questioned him why he never made a film depicting the role played by the Indian intelligence agency RAW in Pakistan.

In the video, we see the director stepping out from the car and heading for the gate when the protesters surround him. Shouting anti-Indian slogans and thrashing their anger on Kabir Khan, we see the men blocking filmmaker’s way.

“You people send Jhadav and kill hundreds here. Why don’t you make a movie about it?” a protester asked Kabir, while another shoe-wielding protester chased him down.

However, Kabir kept his cool and kept walking towards the departure lounge. The video of the entire incident even found it's way on the internet.

Later, Kabir Khan requested media to not give the incident any more attention than it deserves. He tweeted:

Kabir Khan's ‘Phantom’, which is based on a novel by S. Hussain Zaidi, was banned by the Lahore High Court. The film, which featured Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif, was about a retired Indian Army officer who leads a mission to kill Pakistani terrorist leader Hafiz Saeed.
