Following his encounter with incensed crowd at Karachi airport for making anti-Pakistan films, Indian filmmaker Kabir Khan says he cant go to Pakistan again.
In an interview to Bollywood life, Phantom director Khan said his wife Mini Mathur had made it clear that he cant go to Pakistan again.
He reiterated that the incident should be overlooked as the common man of both the countries did not believe or want any violence. He said that the protestors were livid at him for showing Pakistan in a bad light in his film ‘Phantom’.

The mob of protesters who waved shoes at him, however, didn’t touch the director and resorted to only shouts and slogan.
He was greeted at the Karachi airport to catch a Lahore-bound flight with “shame, shame” slogans. Khan was immediately taken inside the lounge by airport security officials.
“You have killed several Muslims in India. Why don’t to direct a film on RAW,” shouted one of the protesters. Yesterday, a protest was also staged outside a hotel where Kabir stayed.
Kabir Khan’s flick Phantom had caused a controversy in Pakistan and movie was banned for screening across the country for depicting the country as a “safe haven for terrorists.”
