A Bollywood Hungama report quoted a filmmaker as saying, “It’s a matter of self-respect. We are not welcome in Pakistan. They brutally kill and maim our soldiers. And we behave as if our cinema can’t do without their artistes? Kuch toh sharm karo (have some shame).” The report did not name the filmmaker.
