Cinema can help settle Indo-Pak disputes: Shahrukh

Lahore: Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has said cinema can play an important role in resolving tensions between India and Pakistan.

Shahrukh, in an interview to the BBC said that cinema could help Indians and Pakistanis realize that they are the same people with the same thoughts and problems and need to sort them out in an amicable manner.

"Cinema needs to be gentler. It can explain to the people that we are one world or we live in the same area and we have the same thoughts, same problems and we need to sort them out in a way that is more amicable than politicising an issue," The News quoted him as saying.

The report said that Shahrukh also expressed a desire to see India and Pakistan united together.

"I do wish we could progress socially, economically and religiously together and I would love it to be one country. We will kick everybody's butt in hockey and cricket, I'm sure - if we got together," Shahrukh added.
