John Abraham asks Indians to stop stereotyping Pakistan

[Mark-x]

  Amidst the tensions between India and Pakistan, there are sane voices emerging from either sides of the border paving way for peace to prevail instead of fueling the hostility even more, unlike a few prominent names in Bollywood.

Forty-six-year-old John Abraham has come forth as a pacifying voice a midst the strains who at the trailer launch of his upcoming film RAW –Romeo Akbar Walter, stated that Indians should not be stereotyping Pakistan and should root for peace.

“Indians are stereotyping the people of Pakistan and that’s probably the most dangerous sign. It shouldn’t happen. There has to be a war against terror, not against a country, a particular religion or between multiple religions,” he stated.

“I am very clear in my outlook. I will probably get picked on, but I am not going to sit on the fence and say nahi yaar, yeh audience ko acha lagega, yeh bura lagega [The audience will like this and they will not like this],” he added.

Regarding his film that encircles a patriotic story, hitting theaters at a politically relevant time, the actor clarified that the release had been planned since last year and this was merely a coincidence.

“We don’t want to sound like opportunists in the current situation. The producers had planned almost a year ago that they will be releasing the film around this time,” he stated.
