The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Wednesday threatened to not allow the theatrical release of Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees – if the Pakistani actors in the two films are not replaced.
“The day Pakistan will stop attacking our country, we will extend the hand of friendship. We do not have anything against art but the artistes who are employed in India, remained mum on the terror attack in Uri” Amey Khopkar, President of MNS’s film wing, told reporters at a press conference.
“We gave them an ultimatum of 48 hours to leave India. You can rest assured that they have left, but if we find any Pakistani artiste, we won’t spare”
MNS workers also protested out of Johar’s Dharma Productions office for casting Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
“Karan Johar isn’t bigger than the government. If Karan Johar and ‘Raees’ makers don’t replace the actors, we will not allow ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Raees’ to release.”
The party’s General Secretary Shalini Thackeray said “Fawad Khan is not the only target. We are against every Pakistani actor. We will not allow any Pakistani actor to work in Mumbai.”
I think political parties should not taste the patience of fans and general public!!When the fans will start against them,they will be completely destroyed!!
@Rajesh Kulkarni- I think u r not aware that Mahira khans movie was also not allowed to release last year. While our country films have been releasing in Pak and earning crores.
I believe film and filmstars are being the soft target because of these pseudo patriotism and opportunist politicians are taking the hell advantage of it. I think MNS should send their party workers to go to J&K ,safeguard borders, join army and or join NGO if they are that patriotic. But they can’t do that because their hooliganism will not work outside Maharashtra.
its very easy to be patriotic by showing anger among these topics but we should look at ourself if we are a significant contributing citizen of this country development where we are facing issues from Water Dispute, Corruption, Unemployment , Rapes, Tax evasion, religious debates etc.
As for MS Dhoni movie, amid current tension between both the countries which distributor will take the risk of releasing the movies across the border. Have some sense in this regards.
Why not pass the bill for Pak being a terrorist state and then stop every trade from export , import to Visas shutdown Pak Embassy as well in India. Why to have these trade links still in the picture.
The king of insecureness must be butthurt right now :P :P
To MNS,
why dont you do something constructive….say utilise ur hooligans to b d eyes and ears of Mumbai so that no attack like 26/11 can take place but no u wnt do dat ..u are not capable of doing dat ..also dr wont b much publicity for dat…so wat u do …go after d soft targets which are film people and dr films…..wrong notion of patriotism/nationalism …its just jingoism and bullying…………hope people come to watch ds movies in hordes to show better sense wen dey are released ..be it ADHM or Raees or sm other film……
The day kjo announced adhm against Shivaay on that day only I boycotted adhm….. The day I came2 know that srkfans r creating negativity about shivaay on that day only I boycotted dear zindagi…Raees…after uri attack I made up my mind that I will never ever watch karan johar directed movie in future….
Except Aamir and Salman khan . Don’t allow any Latest Pakistan actor and actress in the bollywood.
@ ajay- salman fan, hadn’t u Salman fans spread negativity about dilwale and FAN ?so why u have problems now ? If u want respect then first learn to respect. Tit for tat !!
@xzone : Don’t agree on banning China and its actors same as Pakistan. Yes, few Chinese products have been banned in India to promote Make in India but that is like small mole in a mountain. Moreover China is not directly involved in infiltrating terrorist like Pakistan to be banned like Pakistan. You actually want Salman to face a situation like Srk is facing now with Raees. Grow up !!!!!!!
@fanpk : This is something related to India and its pride and you are crying over Salman not going through what Srk has gone through. FYI… Salman was never invited by Hafeez Saeed to Pakistan, Salman never said India is intolerant, Salman did not cast any Pakistani actor barring a singer (Rahat). Having said that I also know banning actors and artist may not be the right solution to tackle Pak but at this time no Indian want to pay to watch a Pakistan actor or artist, we keep giving them respect and their country keep attacking our soldiers !!!!!!
First i fell very angry when heard that msd ban in Pakistan but after this incident i fell they did exactly what MNS did . but only difference is that Pakistan harm indian film industry by baning indian movie and duffer MNS harm his own country film industry by baning these movies…. MNS has to understand to whom u r going to harm grow up
@hrithik what’s about mihra khan’s movie with bajarangi bhaijan baning in india but bajarangi bhaijan earn crores from Pakistan plzz can u describe me difference between rahat ali khan and mihira ? Rahat fath ali khan earn crores from salu movies right through veer to sultan in every movie he sing for salman mihira is waiting for her movie to realised ok from where u said that srk sign mihira ?? He is director? Rithesh , farahan are also there she is a married woman with a son so what srk made to sign her. I think u forgot your’s bhaai interference in music director work while sultan where pritam choosen arjit singh an indian singer for jag ghumiya but your’s rude salman choose a pakistani singer rahat fateh ali khan. But u and so called bhakt didn’t say a single words why??? And what wrong in intolerance comments ?? Anybody has right to express their feeling if indian cricket team palayed well we all appreciated it but when it paly bad we all criticised it same things it’s not necessary situation of a particular country always same when it’s going at wrong way we have full right to say there is something wrong and need to improvement that way country can grow faster otherwise behaving like an andh bhakth like we r the number 1 , we r d best, not making sense we have to improve our mistake and things which going wrong so what’s wrong if he said that ????
You forgot your’s bhaai pic with daowd Ibrahim? Favouring yakkub statements, long list of criminal cases and rap remark???
Are we in favour of our dear motherland INDIA or with Pakistan? You all please decide and let us know who is in favour of our motherland and who is not! As for me, I am and will always love our mother INDIA no whether what!
@fan pk : You need to learn the difference between a singer recording a song for Bollywood movie and an actress doing a lead role. If you do not have capability to differentiate the amount of their work then I cant help it. Did Salman had any dream that Uri attacks will happen ? btw why are you talking about something which is gone ? Raees & Tubelight is yet to release lets talk only about it.
I am not in support of MNS or against Pakistan actors but I support the decision to ban Pak artists and actors or anything to do with Pakistan considering current emotions of Indian public. I would have said same had it a Salman or Aamir movie involving any Pakistani artist. It is the time to teach a lesson to Pakistan. We can’t be watching and appreciating Pakistani actors when they are exporting terror to our Nation.
@fanpk : Bakwaas band kar, it was Bollywood Hungama who confirmed and published article about Salman calling Raj Thakrey. I personally believe Salman did it but not successful in convincing MNS chief hence his PR or manager denied it. If something self less done by Srk Indicine would have posted 1234 articles hailing YouTube K0ng !!!!!!!!!
MNS is small party of Maharashtra. No one like the or nor anyone support their cheap trick to get vote in Maharashtra.
MNS try to show their patriotism but 15 days ago MNS members beat a Northwestern Fruitswala…
Is that Fruits wala a Pakistani???
Are Hindi speaking people Pakistan’s??
We Indians show MNS and Shivsenas patriotism time to time in Maharashtra.
They Are The Real Enamy of India, They Divide Hindi, Marathi,Tamil,Bangla for their own Interests.
Who give the authority to give ultimatum to Pakistani Artist for 48 hrs???
Is MNS is ruling in Government???
Listen MNS you not ban on Pakistani artist you want to make loss our Film Industry.
Indian Government should ban Pakistani in India not any Regional Party.
@hrithik same time when our pm modi g went in pak without any confirmation to attend nawaz shareef b’day and gifting shawl to his mother spreading message of friendship between both countries at the very same time srk and mihira shoot for raees. They also not dreaming about what will happen in future. So for one pak artists you are going to harm our thousands of indian artists who work day and night for raees is this making any sense ???? Some attention seeker politicians and some haters like you just doing this propoganda to degrade a particular person. If you do this so do unbiased why u not protest against banjo nargis fakiri is also from Pakistan why not house full 3 why not sultan and many more …..
