created an uproar in a Punjab village
where the Wagah border was
replicated as shooting couldn't be
completed at the actual border due
to security problems. A village in
Punjab was taken over so the scene
could be shot, but it involved hoisting
the Pakistan flag which upset many
local bodies.
A source said, "A lot of local bodies
were upset about how someone
could hoist Pakistan's flag on Indian
soil. We have had such issues earlier
in Kashmir and in places like Mumbai
as well, when Pakistan flags have
been put up during Ind-Pak cricket
matches. Even though this is for a film
shoot, local organisations are upset
and have not just filed a police
complaint against Salman, but also
surrounded the sets of the film and
the hotel where Salman was staying
to express their indignation over the
hoisting of the flag. After all it is a film
shoot, but the locals refused to
understand, as reported by Deccan
Chronicle.
The scene was successfully shot and
Khan returned to Mumbai after.
