Pakistan welcomes Kamal Haasan, just for a change

Just before cooling down the controversy over, Pakistan's demand for special attention on the security of Shahrukh Khan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that people of Pakistan would be happy if Kamal Haasan was thinking of leaving India and joining their nation. Pakistan's invitation came after Kamal Haasan's interview stating that he would leave the country if Vishwaroopam is not released.

"All Pakistani people are fans of Kamal Haasan. They saw his movies many times. I saw many people who saw Abhay and Dashavatar at least 1000 times. We are truly happy if Kamal Haasan joins Pakistan," said Rehman Malik.

Kamal Haasan's popularity can be guessed from the fact that his hindi movie Abhay is in 5 Pakistani theaters for more than 11 years since its launch.

"All Pakistanis love weird movies. They understand them very well. Even today Abhay and Dashavatar gets 'House Full' crowd," said Arif Khan, Gulistan theatre owner.

Arif Khan said "Our beloved Mr. Maulana Hafiz Saeed is great fan of Kamal Haasan's movie Mumbai Express. He requested us to keep that movie in theatres for at least 3 years so every day he can watch it and inspire by the acting of Mr. Haasan."

Many Pakistani cricketers are also inspired by Kamal Haasan's ageless lifestyle.

"I have even followed his footsteps on not changing age and remain ageless," said Pakistan Cricketer Shahid Afridi.

However, Pakistan's demand was not taken well by India. It immediately issued circular saying Pakistan should keep its security tight and don't make weird demands such as sending Shahrukh and Kamal to its country.

Disheartened by India's reaction, Rehman Malik said "This is just for a change that we thought to demand India to let Kamal come to our country. Just we also thought that we will show that we are more secular than Indians. It doesn't matter if India never accepts our demand. We will remain happy by watching Kamal Haasan's movies on home video."
