'Calendar Girls' is not anti-Pakistan says Madhur Bhandarkar

New Delhi: Bollywood filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is taken aback by the news that his upcoming project 'Calendar Girls' is facing an issue in Pakistan release.

Claiming that the movie is not anti Pakistan, Madhur took to micro blogging site Twitter to express his views over the latest development.

We are told #CalendarGirls is facing problems for a release in Pakistan because of a dialogue the local distributors saw in the trailer...

As somebody who's always tackled hard-hitting subjects sensitively, I earnestly request all distributors in Pak to kindly watch the film...

I assure one & all that #CalendarGirls is NOT anti-Pak & WON'T hurt any sentiments. Sincerely pray Censor there watches & gives a go-ahead.

The film revolves around the glossy life of the calendar girls but some of the dialogues in the trailer have caused a stir.
