Indian director Kabir Khan who is famous for movies involving India and Pakistan ties, had to face the wrath of angry protesters at Pakistan's Karachi airport. 
According to Dawn, when the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' director arrived at the Karachi airport to leave for Lahore, protesters surrounded him and shouted anti-India and pro-Pakistan slogans.
He was also questioned why he did not make similar movies about the Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) activities in Pakistan, Dawn reported.
"You people send Jhadav and kill hundreds here. Why don't you make a movie about it?" a protester asked the director, referring to alleged RAW official Kulbhushan Jhadav who has been arrested in Pakistan.
In a video that emerged online, protesters can be seen shouting 'Shame! Shame' as the director walked into the airport.
A shoe-wielding man chased Khan to the departure lounge, warning the director about "Indian conspiracies against the Pakistan Army", Dawn said.
Khan ignored the ruckus and walked past the protesters at the departure lounge.

Later in the day, Khan took to Twitter and said that "the media on both sides: 12 screaming lunatics with a mobile phone camera is not news. Please don't give them the attention they want. Ignore". Soon after he started trending on Twitter.

 
Khan faced flak for his movie Phantom for its anti-Pakistan remarks and a Saif Ali Khan dialogue 'Ghar me Ghuss Ke Marenge'.
Starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif, "Phantom" is about a retired Indian Army officer who leads a mission to kill Pakistani terrorist leader Hafiz Saeed.
Khan's "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" received a warm response in Pakistan, where Indian movies are always in great demand.
"Phantom", based on a novel by S. Hussain Zaidi, was banned by the Lahore High Court.
Khan arrived in Karachi to take part in a conference and said he was a firm believer in India's secular fabric and in the friendship between India and Pakistan.
