According to reports in Indian media, the famous film director in a video message said that he was deeply hurt over being called anti-nationalistic.
He said that when 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' was being shot the climate and circumstances were very different.
"For me, my country comes first," he said.
He implored people to understand that over 300 people are affiliated with his upcoming film and it was unjust to them.
