Ali Zafar is extremely busy these days in promoting his upcoming film Tere Bin Laden. The journalist, played by Pakistani pop artist Ali Zafar, films a video with the look-alike, which goes viral quickly, and attempts to use his 15 minutes of fame to migrate to the United States after past attempts at getting a visa failed. This is not the first Bollywood film to focus on the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and its aftermath. In a little more than a year, three big-budget films, including Shah Rukh Khans My Name is Khan have dealt with the subject. But Sharma says Tere Bin Laden doesnt get too serious about the topic. He doesnt expect any controversy and says theres no reason for anyone to feel offended. Its a satire, and a mad comedy. I dont want to preach. Tere Bin Laden, which opens across India on July 16, doesnt have a star-studded cast but several Bollywood celebrities are rooting for it. Actor Salman Khan called it a super film on his Twitter account and producer-director Karan Johar has also been promoting the movie.
