I havent signed Fawad for Salman Khan's production : Director

Director Nitin Kakkar of Filmistaan fame has denied signing Fawad Khan for his next, which will be produced by Salman Khan Films.

Talking to indianexpress.com, Nitin said, "I haven't signed Fawad. I have read the news in papers which is surprising because I haven't signed Fawad yet. I am doing a film for Salman Khan's production and B.R. Chopra's co-production. We are meeting several actors. Nothing has been signed yet or put to paper yet."

When asked about his quote appearing in news stating that Fawad has been finalised, Nitin said, "Someone over enthusiastic wrote that. I am not making any urban love story with Fawad Khan. Nothing like that. We are still in the process of casting actors. Nothing concrete yet. And as soon as someone is signed, we will also announce. Right now speculations are being made."

Reacting to the controversy surrounding Fawad Khan and other Pakistani actors, Nitin said, "An artist doesn't belong to any religion or country as per me. They are pigeons of peace who carry the flag of peace in their hands. Be it cricket, theatre, music or films, if you ban them then your last hope for peace will end. Whatever is alive is because of us artists. If we hand everything to politicians they would have destroyed it by now. It's absurd and stupid which we know. The claims they are making are only for their own vote banks."
