The protest against Aamir Khan starrer ‘PK’ is still going on. Many political groups have asked to ban the film. But, Bollywood and the youth of India have supported the film.

Talking about the protest against ‘PK’, the director of the film, Rajkumar Hirani said, “I'm deeply saddened and concerned about the protests by some groups against our film. On behalf of the entire team of 'PK', I would like to clarify we respect all religions and faiths."

“It saddens me to think that a film ... is accused of being disrespectful of Hinduism. I would like to thank the millions of deeply religious people who have loved the film (which) condemns only the abuse of (religion)," he added.

Bollywood celebs like Karan Johar, Uday Chopra, etc have come up to support the film.

Karan Johar tweeted, “Attacking a duly censored film has tostop!!! What kind of a democracy are we living in?? No film should be targetedor be allowed to..,#PK.”
