I’m deeply saddened and concerned about the protests by some groups against our film PK. On behalf of the entire team of PK, I would like to clarify that we respect all religions and faiths.

Our film is inspired by the ideas of Sant Kabir and Mahatma Gandhi. It is a film, which brings to fore the thought that all humans who inhabit this planet are the same. There are no differences.

Our intention is not to hurt anyone, or to discriminate against any religion. I would once again like to assure them that I have the highest regard towards all religions, and that we respect all religions and faiths.

I have the highest respect for the concept of ‘Advait’- the oneness of all humans – that is central to Indian culture, thought, and religion. It saddens me to think that a film that upholds this great Hindu principal is accused of being disrespectful of Hinduism. I would like to thank the millions of deeply religious people who have loved the film and feel that it upholds the spirit of true religiosity and condemns only the abuse of it.

I believe in the great Hindu idea—’Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the whole world is a family. Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and indeed all religions, teach us brotherhood and love. The intent of the film is to uphold this great thought.

  • Hirani, Amir and vvc are hurt Hindu religion. They will suffer seriously illness between 6 month. If anybody not believe then wait for 6 month. Sachha guru ki badduwa jarur lagegi. Kindly publish my comments.

  • @Gautam RAJ

    They will suffer between 6 months? RIP ENGLISH and RIP common sense.

    Your thinking is a ‘wrong number’ LOL.

  • @baap of khans : For your kind Information Islam doesnt believe in any form of God. Even we donr have or neither allowed to worship puctures of Prophets. So how can one make a fun of it ?? it will be ones expression or thoughts even someone creates a picture of Allah or Prophet. Thats why Islam prohibits idols n pictures of God !!!!!!!!!

  • It was terrible movie with recycled jokes that have done many round on what’s app . The most disturbing aspect was unmistakable anti Hindu seance of the movie and to cover it up they showed somevcosmetic anti islam and anti Christianity scenes. The reason is simple if the movie makers had made fun of Islam and Christianity even half as much as they did to Hindus, perhaps Hirani wouldn’t have lived beyond one week from release of movie.

  • Finally I got chance to watch the movie so I can be the witness of it controversial theory, being a true Muslim living in Canada performing our religious ratiuals I have to say this movie is mocking the Hinduism in so many ways…… I love the movie,it’s script, ,acting,comedy what else I should count to say this is great movie but ones you think about in the depth of it’s message….. It is a mocking to hindisium. I Can say it is Amir presence who made that much money and definitely passed by cencer board is only because of him. I’m Surprise in India especially hinus are liking it it seems to me they will apply it’s message in their lives
