All those casting Pakistani artists should pay ₹5 crore to Army relief fund: Raj Thackeray

After much furor over the release of Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ which included Hohar meeting the home minister Rajnath Singh, decks have been cleared for the smooth release of ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ on Saturday.

“Every producer who has cast a Pakistani actor must contribute Rs 5 crore to the Army welfare fund,” MNS chief Raj Thackeray.

This happened after a meeting of film producer Karan Johar with Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and MNS chief Raj Thackeray in Mumbai. The movie courted controversy due to the presence of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in it and the MNS had threatened to stall the release of it.

The MNS chief also raised a question over casting Pakistani actors in Indian films. “While Pakistan has banned Indian content, why do we give them a red carpet here,” Raj Thackeray asked. He also said, “producers will have to give in writing that they will not take Pakistani actors in their films in future.”

Claiming victory for MNS agitation, Raj Thackeray said: “We have always protested against Pakistani artistes but Bollywood never understood earlier. Now they have realised.”

Earlier, speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mukesh Bhatt said that it was “positive and constructive and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ will release as per the schedule.”

“We discussed the unfortunate events related to the film’s release. I shared the film industry’s emotions regarding the entire issue. We are Indians first and then comes our business,” he said.
