Aamir Khan shows his support to friend and fellow actor Salman Khan for his film Ek Tha Tiger

Aamir Khan loved the promos of friend and actor Salman Khan’s film Ek Tha Tiger, and is looking forward to seeing the film. Aamir says that it will be successful at the box office.

Produced by Aditya Chopra for Yash Raj Films, the romantic thriller will see Salman pairing up with Katrina Kaif. Directed by New York fame Kabir Khan, the film is set for August 15 release.

“I haven’t seen the film. But I liked the promos a lot and I think this will be a superhit. I texted Salman, Kabir saab and Adi (Aditya Chopra) that I liked the promos,” Aamir told reporters in Mumbai.

Ek Tha Tiger promos have been banned in Pakistan following allegations that the film portrays the neighbouring country’s intelligence agency ISI in a bad light. When asked about this, Aamir said: “I will see it for sure. But I don’t know why they are not showing it in Pakistan.”

Talking about a particular scene in the film where Katrina is telling Salman it’s high time he should get married, Aamir says he hopes his fellow actor pays attention to the suggestion in real life. He said: “We have been telling him to get married since a long time now. He didn’t listen to us. Maybe he will listen to Katrina.

'Ek Tha Tiger' is not anti-Pakistan, says director

 'Ek Tha Tiger' is not anti-Pakistan, says director

 Mumbai: Director Kabir Khan is upset after 'Ek Tha Tiger' promos were banned in Pakistan following allegations that it portrays the neighbouring country's intelligence agency in a bad light. But he says this is a misconception and that his film is neither insensitive nor derogatory.

"I will say it once more... Ek Tha Tiger is NOT anti Pakistan....In this day and age, it's stupid to make films that are insensitive or derogatory to any country or community," Kabir tweeted.

The director, who earlier made 'Kabul Express' on post-Taliban Afghanistan and won critical acclaim for it, says that jingoistic films lead to such situations

"This is the price we have to pay because unfortunately our industry has made insensitive and jingoistic films in the past," he wrote.

According to reports, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), the country`s media regulatory watchdog, has directed cable operators and satellite TV channels to refrain from airing promos/reviews of the movie till it is issued a no-objection certificate by the Central Board of Film Censors of Pakistan.

PEMRA alleges that the film shows the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI in a bad light.

Produced by Yash Raj Films, 'Ek Tha Tiger' features Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif and will be released on August 15. Kabir Khan is confident that the film will be released in Pakistan.

"I am absolutely sure that once the censor board of Pakistan sees 'Ek Tha Tiger', they will be more than happy to show the film in Pakistan," he posted.

"I can assure the millions of fans of Salman in Pakistan that 'Ek Tha Tiger' will release in theatres in their country," he added.
