SCOOP!! & NEWS ATHWS is not anti-Pak: Bachchan23rd Dec 2004 22.13 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau On the eve of release of director Anil Sharma’s film Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo , its star Amitabh Bachchan dispelled the notion that the movie is anti-Pak in tone. It is a mere coincidence that Sharma’s ATHWS is Bachchan’s second film in row in which he plays a Punjabi character. He was seen playing Shahrukh’s foster Punjabi father in Veer Zaara and now in ATHWS, he plays a senior soldier.
Speaking about the movie in an interview to a website, Bachchan dispelled the popular notion that ATHWS is an anti-Pak movie, just like Anil Sharma ’s previous jingoistic flicks. “It spreads a message of peace between India and Pakistan,” Bachchan said, adding that it was necessary on the part of the people of both countries to acknowledge the similarities between them and bury the animosity that has kept them divided for more than half century. “We have the same culture. We are the same people. Enmity between the two countries must not prevail. This film also says there are certain outside elements that try to disturb peace between the two countries,” Bachchan is quoted to have said. Besides Amitabh, ATHWS also stars Akshay Kumar , Bobby Deol , Kapil Sharma and Divya Khosla. ATHWS is also Bachchan and Akshay’s fourth film together. They are working together in two more forthcoming Bollywood projects. | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ The Bachchans in a magical fable ~ 'Rang Rasiya' adds Indian color to Cannes ~ Steamy roles not a taboo for Tabu ~ Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones to shoot in India ~ 'Friend' slaps Jannat actress publicly ~ 'Drona' not to clash with 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' ~ Shah Rukh Khan to sport a spiky look in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' ~ Ugly Aur Pagli : Movie Preview / Slideshow ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Irrfan Khan wants to do a variety of roles ~ Paris museum to celebrate Bollywood stars ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES Jannat, Bhoothnath, Jimmy, Anamika, Tashan, U Me Aur Hum, Race, Mr. White Mr. Black, Jodhaa Akbar, Taare Zameen Par, Krazzy 4, Ugly Aur Pagli , Woodstock Villa , Sarkar Raj , Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic MUSIC Woodstock Villa , Tashan celebs» the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Rani Mukherjee | Aishwarya Rai | Gayatri Joshi | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Priyanka Chopra | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Kareena Kapoor | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Vivek Oberoi | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Sneha Ullal | John Abraham | Karisma Kapoor | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Abhishek Bachchan | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amitabh Bachchan | Meghna Naidu | Amrita Rao | Arjun Rampal | Mahima Chaudhary | Amrita Arora | Vidya Balan | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rakhi Sawant | Rimi Sen | Bhumika Chawla | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Sonam Kapoor | more... |
