Filmmaker Indra Kumar says it was his team’s decision to prevent the release of Total Dhamaal in Pakistan.
On Monday, the cast of the third installment of Dhamaal franchise, announced that movie will not release in Pakistan in the wake of terror attack on CRPF jawans in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama.
Standing by the decision, Indra Kumar told IANS: “Being a part of Indian film industry, it’s my and my team’s way of protest against the heinous terror attack.

“It’s our way of supporting our nation in hard time. Why should we release our movie in a country which is attacking our people?”
“The whole team including actors Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh, mutually decided and came to the conclusion of abandoning the release of the film in Pakistan,” he added.
Asked if he really feels that film trade with Pakistan must stop completely, he said: “I never want the two nations to fight or have hatred against each other. I always wish for peace but now looking at the situation, looking at those young martyrs and their families, how can I talk about trade with that nation.
