Ranbir, known for his apolitical approach on controversial topics recently reacted to his previous statement when he expressed interest in collaborating with Pakistani artists. Now, at a promotional event for TJMM he gave clarification to the media.
RANBIR KAPOOR SAYS COUNTRY SHALL ALWAYS BE FIRST PRIORITY
Ranbir told “I don’t think itni bhi badi controversy hui. (It was not a big controversy) But, for me, films are films, art is art. I have worked with Fawad (Khan) in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. I have known a lot of artists from Pakistan. Rahat (Fateh Ali Khan) and Atif Aslam are such great singers who used to contribute to Hindi cinema. So, cinema is cinema. I don’t think cinema sees boundaries.” He further opined “But, of course, you have to respect art but at the same time art is not bigger than your country. So, anybody who is not on good terms with your country, your first priority will always be your country.”

(I think my statement was misconstrued). I had gone to a film festival and there were a lot of Pakistani filmmakers asking me this question, ‘If you’ve got a good subject would you do it?’ So, I didn’t want it to be controversial in any way.”
