Salman Khan has no plans to visit Pakistan


There are no plans to visit Pakistan as of now, says the "Ek Tha Tiger" team on reports that the film's lead actor Salman Khan may visit the neighbouring country, which has banned the promos of the movie.

Denying the reports, Salman said: "I also read it in the papers that I am going (to Pakistan). If we need to go, then we will go for sure."

Director Kabir Khan said: "There were no plans to go to Pakistan but if we get an opportunity, we will love to go, but as of now there is nothing."

They were speaking at the unveiling of "Ek Tha Tiger" first song - "Mashallah".

Kabir also clarified that the promos have not been banned, but have been stopped till a no objection certificate (NOC) is issued by the Pakistan censor board.

The director is confident of getting the NOC from Pakistani censor board.

"It's not like promos are banned. They have just said that till the time there is no NOC, the trailers should not be played. We are very confident that it will get an NOC as it has nothing derogatory towards Pakistan," he said.

The film is coming out on Independence Day.

Tribute to Dara Singh, with a minute's silence

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan along with other actors and media persons kept a minute of silence to pay tribute to Dara Singh, who died Thursday after a brief illness.

Before beginning the launch of the first song of his movie "Ek Tha Tiger" at the Gaity Galaxy here, Salman requested everyone to maintain a minute's silence in the memory of the late legend.

"He (Dara Singh) was the most amazing person to work with. I know his children really well. As a person, he was the most incredible. It is a huge loss to us and god bless his soul," Salman said.

The film's director Kabir Khan and Salman's co-star Katrina Kaif were also present.

Dara Singh was admitted to a hospital here Saturday after a heart attack. On Wednesday, he was shifted to his home from hospital. He passed away at his residence in Juhu in the morning.
