Kabir Khan on when trolls ask him to go to Pakistan: 'It does feel bad'
Hindustan TimesFilmmaker Kabir Khan has said there is a difference between patriotism and nationalism in cinema as he believes that there is no requirement of a "counter point" when showcasing love for the country. The director, known for films such as Kabul Express, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and 83, said he feels bad when someone trolls him like that but at the same time, he believes it is all due to social media that has given people the liberty to say anything to anyone. Giving an example of his recent release 83, which dealt with the Indian cricket team's World Cup win in 1983, Kabir said, “For nationalism, sometimes we need a counter point or a villain. And that was my attempt.” Kabir's last release, 83, featured an ensemble cast lead by Ranveer Singh, who portrayed India's first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev in the film.
