The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has decided to end their protest against Dharma Productions’ Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, after a closed-door meeting between party supremo Raj Thackeray, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, producer Karan Johar and Mukesh Bhatt.
After the meeting, Thackeray spoke to the media and revealed that he has received assurances from the film industry that henceforth they wouldn’t be working with any Pakistani artists.
“In the meeting with Mukesh Bhatt and others, I told them when Pakistan wants, it releases our films when they don’t want they ban our films and bans our channels. Then why are you time and again rolling out the red carpet for them? Is there any such really big star there that you have to take them in films here? No need of all these things”
Thackeray also said he does not care if it’s Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar or anyone else – every producer whose films feature a Pakistani actor has to pay Rs 5 crore to the army welfare fund.
“When CM asked me what solution could be offered, I told them before the start of the movie, they should put up a message slate saying that we are offering our respects and prayers to the URI martyrs and all those soldiers who lost their lives in earlier terror attacks and we salute our jawans. We will also need a written undertaking Producers Guild that they will not work with any Pakistani artistes, singers or technicians. So they have agreed. Apart from these, they will talk to the CM and decide how much money they will give. I have told them by way of penance, every producer who has worked with Pakistani artistes, be it Shah Rukh Khan or Karan Johar, they should give Rs 5 crore to the army welfare fund” Thackeray said.
Thackeray has even asked the producers to click a picture and show it to people of the country.
“They should hand over the cheque to Defence Minister Manohar Parikkar, click a picture and show it to people. Now how much money they will give is something they will tell the CM and then tell us.” the MNS chief added.
He also said they’ve been victorious in their ongoing effort in banning all Pakistani artists from the country.
“It’s a victory of our protest that Pakistan actors will not work in our films anymore. From today they will not engage with Pak actors. Those who have already completed shooting that producer should atone. I also don’t think the films that will have Pakistani actors people of India will go to watch it”
“MNS has many times protested against Pakistani artistes in the past but people from the film industry never understood. Now they will realise and understand. When the CM asked me if any solution was possible, I asked what solution could be offered when these people don’t want to understand anything at all. We have tried telling them so many times but finally, it looks like they are only pretending to not understand. Uri attacks or Pathankot like attacks have been happening in India since long. Bomb blasts and many other attacks have happened in India many times”
Mankind has established it’s steps on platelets like Mars, Venus and we are all set to explore remote galaxies of the universe but these auto-drivers are still stuck with SRK.
Whatever is the topic, whichever is the context, they don’t get their food digested until they chant the name of SRK twice a day. I’m not sure what harm SRK has inflicted to them or their families.
@Hrithik 04:09 pm : You blind hater can’t see the fact that it’s not a decision taken by Raj Thackrey alone but there is a hidden consent of Maharashtra government too. This was a multi-lateral meeting where all the parties (e.g. one representing the film fraternity, another representing the government and one representing the goons -MNS in this case) were invited to sort out this issue.
So if all filmmakers are ready to agree on these terms and even government has agreed , why will SRK take a different stand on that?
Remove those glasses of hate, you will understand the entire issue.
And you dance today because circumstances have given you haters an apt opportunity to celebrate this moment but be ready for the boycott of that Chinese actress in upcoming crap “The fused CFL”. Because those who wish bad to others soon fall prey to the same.
And don’t worry about SRK. If he commits a mistake, he will come and clarify because he doesn’t have a father who can come and apologise on his behalf for every sin committed by him.
So SRK is matured enough to take a decision on his own unlike some 50 years oldie who still relies on his ‘Daddy’ to cover up his silly mistakes.
@indicine : ‘Queen’ is allowed as a replacement of ‘King’ but Bhabhijan can’t be allowed as a replacement of bhaijan.
May I know why?
Both are equally offensive, so either block the comments of these haters or give me the privilege of using bhabhijan in my comments.
@04:06 pm : Not sure which country you belong to but you can’t call entire India intolerant just because of few buffoons.
We are the most tolerant nation and perhaps that’s the reason, people from different sects and religions are living here peacefully without much hindrance.
Such attention seeking elements are everywhere and thus , nominal incidents of violence or protest is well justified, but you should remember the fact that despite of having a population of more than 125 cr (where every fourth member either practices a different religion or different culture) we are still united with minimal conflicts.
Can you give an example of such cohesiveness from any other country?
You don’t have to go anywhere else- just look at our neighbours.
In Pakistan, minorities (especially Hindus) are ill treated and they even have conflicts among Muslims (based on Shia-Sunni).
In Sri Lanka, Tamils were oppressed and exploited for decades.
Do you find any such occurrences in India?
And then you directly jumped into the conclusion that India is the most intolerant country.
Come on!
ADHM benifited by 50cr due to free publisity KJO happyly donate 5cr
@GirliZone 04:49 pm : unfortunately this is your upper threshold and you can not think beyond SRK. Other contemporary issues don’t bother you loons because your days starts with SRK and it ends with SRK.
So listen you clown, I was first among SRK fans who supported your convicted Bhaijan when a woman asked compensation from him on his raped woman remark. I have also supported him on other occasions whenever I have felt the need. But there is no point in arguing with a joker like you.
Because in the same breath, even I can say that since SRK is being targeted, you all are dancing and supporting Raj Thackrey.
But had your convicted Bhaijan been targeted by Raj, you idiots would have been used all kind of abusive languages against him.
So girl, doesn’t matter if it is SRK or KRK being targeted, I can never support this clown called Raj Thackrey.
Ban of movies is just a contemporary issue, but the way he has created hatred towards our own citizens (Biharis and Muslims) , he only deserves bashing and not applaud.
@xzone will go mad again when raees flops….the same way he gone mad after flop show of Epic movie Fan…….hahahahahaha…waiting to c his and javed comments when raees flops…

5 cr is very less amount for Army relief fund.
But if this is a deal than OK.
But I think without any duplicate bhakts and goons force (MNS) on Producers and Actors they can and they should give more than 10cr to Army Relief Fund and that too without having any Pakistani actors.
All Indians are Proud our Army but not on Nations goons like MNS,SS,And RSS ,Gau Rakshak.
Clear case of extortion.
it means we will never be able to listen to Atif Aslam & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in bollywood
I am extremely confused….. who is running the government- Fadnawis or CH Thakre?
Its our govt who gives visas & work permits to Pakistani artists. Hence isn’t it govt’s duty to give security to those films???
Pakistan is banning Indian films. And we Indians are banning our own films.
#Pakistan ko aschaa sabak sikhaya humne.
I likr the fact that he demanded 5 crore for the selfless Army jawans. These producers makes hundreds of crores and want international appeal in muslim countries and with muslims every where so they can share atleast 5 crores with the Army men families dying due to Pakistan.
@Xzone to whom you give lecture who can’t think beyond HGOTY, box office number and their job is to hate srk from the bottom of their heart.
absolutely love to read your comments.
Why this MNS forcing film maker to pay 5 cr to victim? Why can’t they themselves contribute from their own pocket to prove their petriotism. This is act of extortion.
Pirates of the Maharashtra, shame on this licensed terrorists. What a bully government, upar se democracy neechay se robbery. Income tax bhi aur ransom bhi. Also saying shamelessly, we are triumph over ADHM, waah Pharaoh ka zamana agaya! Actually, in West, politic mean welfare for public and in most parts of Asia(particularly, in India, Pakistani and Bangladesh…etc) politic mean their livelihood(commercial). I accept Bollywood celebs are influential but are hand cuffed and mouth-taped due to this communists. In these days If any actor/producer/director point anything which are wrong done by government, he who is labels as anti India and his films are in trouble for sure, so they play in safe way. Has any khans and any actors raised any voice while Congress are in charge? Nope! they ruled fairly. Now, they are raising their voices to this government, why, no one is ready to be convinced as somehow all are chained to politic and bashing them blindly as anti India except thier die hard fans. My bros, they are not anti India, they are anti this government’s injustice mannerisms. To notify these we need to have the third eye.
Pakistan government sponsores terrorist like Hafiz saeed, Masood Azhar etc. Now our govt is sponsoring goons like Raj Thakre, Kailash vijayabarge, Prachi Sadhwi etc. What’s the big difference between Pak government and our government???
Shivaay will thrash ae hit hai namumkin.
Perfect example where political power used to first create controversy & to stay relevant in the public eye. The media is also a big culprit as it indirectly encourages & gives free publicity to such individuals & their parties.
Dekhte hain movie mein kitna dum hai.

Epic comment.These fellow salman fans have the unique talent to mention srk’s name in every single article.Okay on article related to box office it’s fine to mock the underperformance of fan and show supremacy of their favourite star but at least on these kind of issues they should realise they are the citizen of a nation first which has given them an identity before being a blind follower of a certain movie star.Every time they have the same argument that someone provoked them.Even if someone provoked you take revenge in raees related article. Here’s someone wishing Raees to be stalled indirectly supporting this goon. Perhaps implying that they are small immature kids not able to differentiate between box office and once anyone says a word against their bhagwan they would wish the worst for his contemporaries not even caring about disruption of law and our country
I wonder MNS is doing same when it comes to doing business with Pakistan.
Is he asking all the big magnet businessmens who are doing business with Pak to donate.Definitely NO.
For limelight and publicity , soft target is SHOWBIZ.
Sorry, I live in England so I don’t know so much about India but who is running the country? Modi or Thackeray?
I hate secular parties like congress , samajwadi party , bahujan samajwadi party , aap , Tranmul Congress they only target Modi & Our Maharashtra Government . Shame on pesudo secular parties . I only like RSS & BJP . Secular only love MiM , ISIS because they feel that they are only patriots . Secular parties only agenda is target on hindus they only know iski topi uski sar . Atleast 5 crore wont get in indian government but it will goes to Uri attack family members . Dil Se (Man-Se ) . Jai Shree Ram .
who d hell is raj thakre?
everything is ok in his objection bt nt right to say SAHIDS.
Has he done anything fr his country except Maharashtra and up, Bihar OR Hindu & Muslim
Next time sale pak.artist na me aapne movie me.
@xzone : Hypocrisy at best !!!!!! Did you get your digestion right after commenting first on Salman article 2 days ago with “Pack up”. I also wonder what damage he did to you personally ? Having parents and getting protection from them can be understood only who are blessed with their presence. Whether children are 5 years old or 50 years old for every parents their children remains the same but unfortunately your queen is not blessed with such presence.
@Challa : There won’t be any smoke without any fire. Who knows this fake news may have spread by your idol’s PR for publicity !!!!!!!!!
