The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, in a recent statement pronounced Bollywood directors and producers, who offer work to Pakistani artists as major offenders and said he would not let ‘Ae dil hai mushkil’ and ‘Raees’ release in the country.
“We have asked the theatres to not release their movie, we must teach them a lesson, the producers are more at fault than those artists,” said Thackeray.
Thackeray further slammed, Fawad Khan for his comment stating his first priority is Pakistan and standing in support of it, irrespective of Pak being a source of terrorism.
“Fawad Khan tells that he loves his country and will not condemn the attack,. He won’t condemn the attack and he wants to work here? And director and producers here will provide them work.” Thackeray said in response to his comment.
Earlier MNS imposed a ban on all Pakistani artists including Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Atif Aslam, Alizafar and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and gave out an ultimatum asking them to leave the country within 48-hours.
On the other hand Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande has said Bollywood actor Salman Khan needs to be taught a lesson for backing Pakistani actors.
“I think he needs to be taught a lesson. When several jawans are losing their lives all these years, even when there has been war-like situation between Pakistan and India, this statement coming from him is highly objectionable,” Kayande said.
“This is a very insensitive statement that he has made. If he has so much love for Pakistan and Pakistani artistes, I think he should go and perform there or rather migrate to Pakistan. I think that is the way he will learn a lesson one day,” she added.
On Friday, Salman was asked for his opinion on the boycott of Pakistani artistes in India and Khan replied that artistes should not be equated with terrorists.
