Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has praised the Pakistani people for receiving Hindi film warmly.
Big B made the statement when his new expedition "Bhoothnath Returns" will hit the screens in Pakistan on Friday, the same day it releases in India.
The film's lead actor, Amitabh Bachchan, is glad that the neighbouring nation is warming up to cinema from his country.
"I am very happy. We promoted the film in Pakistan through video call, and it is nice to know that they are welcoming our films in their country," said Amitabh.
According to a source, Amitabh has a huge fan base in Pakistan, and hence the decision to simultaneously release "Bhoothnath Returns" in the two nations has been taken.
The 71-year-old has no memories of his last visit to Pakistan, though he knows his late mother Teji had taken him once when he was two years old.
"We have many friends there. People from my mothers' time communicate with us, and it's been nice," added the actor.
Asked if he has ever been approached by any party from Pakistan for a collaboration, he said: "No business collaborations, but they (people) keep saying that you have so many fans there. And so, I keep saying 'If you invite me, I'll come'."
