Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a video message to the nation on Tuesday, said the country was willing to initiate action against perpetrators of the Pulwama attack if New Delhi shares "actionable intelligence". He, however, went on to say, "If India retaliates, we will not think and retaliate back."

Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar, who was part of many Bollywood films, including Tere Bin Laden, Chashme Baddoor, Dear Zindagi and London, Paris, New York, tweeted in praise of the prime minister's speech. "What a speech!" he wrote on Twitter.
Ali Zafar's comments came even as several Bollywood producers have decided that their movies will not be released in Pakistan in the wake of Pulwama attacks. The makers of Ajay Devgn-starrer Total Dhamaal had, on Monday, said the movie will not be released in Pakistan. Following this, makers of Luka Chuppi and Arjun Patiala too said the films will not be released in the neighbouring country.
All India Cine Workers Association had called for a "total ban" on Pakistani artists working in Indian film industry in the wake of the militant attack. There were also media reports that said Salman Khan asked his production house, Salman Khan Films, to get Pakistani singer Atif Aslam replaced in the upcoming movie Notebook.
