There's no doubt that Salman Khan has fans all over the world. But one young fan from Pakistan is so dedicated to Salman that he decided to evade his own country's law. Salman's recent film 'Tiger Zinda Hai' was banned in Pakistan due to apparently showing the country's "national security and law enforcement institutions in a demeaning manner." But one die-hard fan of Salman, from Lahore, decided to host a private screening of the film on March 17, for his friends, family and fellow Salman Khan lovers.
An attendee spoke to a leading entertainment portal and said, "It was a great experience. 'Tiger Zinda Hai' depicts the ties of love between India and Pakistan in such a pure way. We were cheering and hooting during Salman's action scenes. The film may have been banned here, but we endorse the idea of brotherhood that it promotes. We wish we didn't have to hold the screening discreetly. We want to tell Salman Bhai we have immense love for him and his movies." The attendee further added, "The man, who took the initiative, had to pay a hefty sum for the digital rights. The movie was screened via a USB in the digital cinema projector."
Although Salman Khan was unavailable for comment, his father Salim Khan said, "It's a wonderful gesture. I feel films from India should be allowed to release in Pakistan, and their films should be allowed to screen here. That will happen only once the situation between the two countries improves." Stay tuned for more updates.
