"I will say it yet again... Ek Tha Tiger isn't anti Pakistan....In just today and age, it's stupid to make films which are insensitive or derogatory to any country or community," Kabir tweeted.
The director, who earlier made "Kabul Express" on post-Taliban Afghanistan and won critical approval for it, says that jingoistic films result in such situations.
"This is the associated fee we need to pay because unfortunately our industry has made insensitive and jingoistic films within the past," he wrote.
According to reports, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), the country`s media regulatory watchdog, has directed cable operators and satellite TV channels to refrain from airing promos/reviews of the movie till it's issued a no-objection certificate by the Central Board of Film Censors of Pakistan.
PEMRA alleges that the film shows the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI in a foul light.
Produced by Yash Raj Films, "Ek Tha Tiger" features Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif and is popping out Aug 15.
Kabir Khan is confident that the film might be released in Pakistan.
"I am absolutely sure that when the censor board of Pakistan sees 'Ek Tha Tiger', they are going to be more than pleased to turn the film in Pakistan," he posted.
"I can assure the millions of fans of Salman in Pakistan that 'Ek Tha Tiger' will release in theatres of their country," he added.
