Another refusal:
Such an instance had happened earlier in the case of Akshay Kumar who had reportedly refused to badmouth Pakistan in the film Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo. In fact, Kumar was so adamant that he had threatened to quit if the lines with political connotations were not deleted from the script. It was also obvious that he wasn't too pleased with a none-too-strong role assigned to him in the film that also featured Amitabh Bachchan and Bobby Deol.

Yet another actor has now taken a no-politics stand, according to reports from the London shoot of the film in question - Goal. Recently, the unit of the film, that is said to be inspired from the Hong Kong hit Shaolin Soccer, was at the Waltha-mstow Stadium. The scene was picturised on John Abraham and Arshad Warsi. 
Arshad, who plays the part of Shaan Pathan has been thrown out of the football team captained by John Abraham who plays the part of a character called Sunny At the stadium, a supporting actor asks, "Kya Pathan, tu football chhod ke cricket khelne lag gaya kya"?

At this juncture, John was to speak disparaging dialogue that referred obviously to the Pakistan cricket team. John put his foot down, requesting the lines to be replaced with something that was not "hostile." 
"It's alright, we'll come up with something else," the film's director Vivek Agnihotri is said to have assured the actor and the scene was rewritten. Several unit sources confirmed the incident that had created tension during the shoot.
