Fawad Khan won’t come to Mumbai, Mahira Khan to shoot in Dubai

Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan, who made his debut in ‘Khoobsurat’ last year, will be seen in Karan Johar’s upcoming film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Kapoor and Sons’.

But the actor won’t be coming to Mumbai to promote the film, after objections to Pakistani artists performing in India were raised by political party Shiv Sena.

Karan Johar, who is the producer of the two Fawad Khan films,  has decided to keep the actor out of the promotional activities of both films.

This is because Karan doesn’t want any unwanted controversy regarding his films. When Karan starred in Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet earlier this year, there was some controversy with the name of the film being called ‘Bombay Velvet’ rather than ‘Mumbai Velvet’.

A similar situation happened with Farhan Akhtar’s Raees which stars SRK and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. Most of the film was shot in Mumbai but now the producers have decided to shoot the remaining portions in Dubai.

  • Unfortunately politics has started to dominate Bollywood and this is just the beginning . It is ok that Fawad Khan has completed his shoot for Kapoor and Sons and now he will complete his remaining schedule for ADHM outside India . Now the makers of Raees have to opt for a different location and most probably it will be Dubai . Pakistan will come to India next year for T20 World Cup and i don’t want anything to ruin that event . Politics should not come between Sports and Entertainment .

  • Not interested in any of these movies. Stop posting articles on these. at least post one article on Akshay upcoming Airlift? Instead of posting articles on shahrukh’s children.

  • Ae dil hai mushkil is flop, dont care about it. Raees is boring. This shahrukh overhypes his films as if they are biggest in the world. but ultimately they too do same business as others. then whats the point of over promoting your boring film.

  • Just shame Karan hope you Will Read my lines you CANNOT stand for you actors ! because they are Pakistani !?
    Is Hindouism a religion of LOVE and tolerance Or not ?!
    Shivsena : THERE IS NOT PLACE FOR HATE AND DESTRUCTION IN ANY RELIGION !!!!

  • Great move by Shiv Sena.. Those films should also be banned… I Don’t want anyone to earn money from my country and pay tax to our enimy country.

  • Now these are the indians one side they show in their movies that “MEHMAN BHAGWAN HOTA HAI” but in reality they are doing these kind of cheap things with guests.

    Shame on you Shiv Sena and party if u have guts then go to the border and fight with Pakistan don’t bark sit from ur home.

    Agree with @Saksham politics should banned from Sports and Entertainment

  • Agree with you @saksham and @tiger.
    @saksham i don’t think Pakistani team will come for t20 wc specially after aleem daar issue.

  • shiv sena suxx
    they only know how to divide people…be it in the name of religion(hindu-muslim)or country(india-pakistan) or region(marathi-bihari)
    they should be banned from india like the alqaeda..they are only here to create nuisance

  • dear indicine please stop publishing news on no talented loser called fawad khan instead why don’t u publish something exciting

  • No.. no … no !!!!!!! Dont bow in front of such extremists. Kjo and Farhan should have taken a stand and teach SS a lesson !!!!!!!!!!!! If it is for security reasons then I may agree !!!!!!!!!!! Still they shouldnt have done this !!!!!!!!!!!! Mahira Khan is one of the finest actress !!!!!!!!!

  • Shifting the location of the films and doing it in abroad will not help this. instead as much as you will try to to avoid any disturbance or clashes later with the time they will create another controversy & will ask something impossible so you’ll do that too? the shoot has to happen in India & find a solution for it instead shifting it to abroad..

  • WellDone ShivSena
    Not only Pakis the Actors who show Terrorists in good way also should be banned.
    EX:Fanaa,Kurbaan

  • @hersi,HINDU is world’s MOST ANCIENT RELEGION you dumb.and like you I don’t want to bash anyone’s RELEGIONS which is equal in my point of views.in world,CHRISTIANS can also say that’s why MUSLIM is not relegion as they have highest followers across the world,then what you’ll say?????HINDU which is considered world’s most ancient relegion has it’s own script SANSKRIT which is too world’s most ancient script.as well as it has IT’S OWN SCRIPTURE GEETA and other VEDAS,UPANISHADAS.

    IF world’s most ancient RELEGION HINDU is not a RELEGION for you then from where CHRSTIAN/MUSLIM came from?????if you can’t respect anyone’ relegion then no one will respect you not your RELEGION which make other such Muslims/Islamic hurt.at least for their sake respect other’s RELEGIONS.
