MUMBAI: Salman Khan's film 'Ek Tha Tiger' is in trouble in Pakistan. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has directed all satellite channels and distribution networks to refrain from airing its promos of the film till an NOC is obtained from the censor board of Pakistan.
PEMRA in its letter states, "The film's content is reportedly based on the activities of ISI and RAW. The basic theme of the film revolves around the ISI with the objective to tarnish the image of the state-owned institution."
Mumbai: Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger is slipping into a new controversy after its banned screening in Pakistan. Vikram Vashishtha, nephew of RAW (Research Analysis Wing) agent Ravindra Kaushik has claimed that film promos depict startling resemblance to his uncle's life and the makers should have asked for family's permission, before turning his life history into a movie.
Reportedly, Ravindra Kaushik, working with Indian government was sent to Pakistan for certain undercover operations. His nephew has sent a legal notice to Yash Raj Films asking them either to provide the original script or let them watch the film before its official release on August 15. Central Board of Film Certification and the Film & TV Producers Guild and Film Federation of India have also been sent copies of the legal notice.
In an interview with a leading daily, Vikram Vashishtha said, "He (Ravindra Kaushik) was my maternal uncle who was with the Research Analysis Wing (RAW). Born on April 11, 1952 in Sri Ganganagar he also did his graduation from there. He displayed his talent at national level dramatic meet in Lucknow, which was witnessed by some officials of the intelligence wing (RAW). He was contacted and offered job for the secret intelligence in Pakistan. Later he was sent to Pakistan for the purpose."
With such legal issues creeping up against the film, Ek Tha Tiger controversy seems to take serious turns. Pointing at the similarities between events in Ravindra's life and film promotions, Vashishtha's lawyer Madhav Mitra, said, "Prima facie resemblance is on the account that the promos show that ISI (Pakistan agency) and RAW (Indian Agency) indulged in day to day war.
The promos reveal that the agent named 'Tiger' worked in Pakistan and had an affair with a Pakistani girl. He fought for the country as well as for his love. Shashi Vashishtha, mother of my client Vikram is the Ravindras only sister. Thus, the family has full right to either go through the certified screenplay or watch it prior to national/ international release."
However, the filmmakers seem unaffected with the buzz and the production has decided to keep the film's content private before its release. Director Kabir Khan said, "I read about him (Ravindra Kaushik) in the papers. This is the first time I've heard of him. It's an interesting story. But it's not the story of my film.
The makers stick to their point and assert that the movie is not Kaushik's story. A source said, "Kaushik was caught and jailed in Pakistan. He died in prison across there. Salman's character comes to an entirely different end. Thats why the film is called Ek Tha Tiger. He is like an unsolved mystery
