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”
@xzone : I had supported Srk during his intolerance comments but what he did after it? He reverted from his own words to save his movie and publicity which backfired. Haven’t you enjoyed the moment when Apex court gave verdict against Salman ? 2 days ago you commented ‘Pack up’ on Salman article related to poaching case. Then why this saint behaviour ? Do you think you have exclusive rights to such things ??? Peak inside yourself before pointing towards others.
Proud of Indian Army, they refuse to take extortion money. Raj Thackary and mns doing everything for their political gain.
It’d just so shameful his these Teesra Khan fans point fingers at Ajay when its their turn they purposely make excuses. Ajay personally on his own asked for the release of Adhm and Raees also clarifying the misunderstanding that he supports . he said he won’t act with any Pakistan till things normalize. Bringing Kjo too? He wanted to find out if its true and it was the Case was made dead to avoid embarrasmsnt. Never seen useless sets of fans like this. Never will they grow apart from only one of them. That is why Salman and Aamir fans will always mocck at non hit hai mushkil without Diwali.
Is MNS Party or Raj Thakrey give any amount to Our army After Uri Attacks…
No a Big No.
One Side Rajnath Singh and Shusma Swaraj says that we can’t ban Pak artists if they fulfill Visa requirements,
And other side Raj thakrey make a agreement with Film Industry and Producers to not cast any Pakistani artist in their movie in near future and that too in front of Maharashtra BJP CM Devendra Fadanvish.
If Pak Government ban Our Hindi Movie and TV channels than our Indian Government should also ban Pak Movie,Artists, and Channels.
But who give the right to MNS or SS to Ban someone whether they are Pakistani or Chinese???
Is our Government not able to handle the situation????
Or they too afraid by MNS goon.
This is sheer politics and the army has responded well by asking MNS and other selfish parties not to involve them into it thats the Indian army the actors/ producers will donate and donate on their own will not by force
@challa
Open your eyes….There are so many Salman fans who have supporting KJO & srk in this case. But andhi KABARIWALAs like you can’t see that.
On serious note…. WTH you are judging all the Bhai fans on basis of one or two guys opinions? Isn’t it a Chutiyappa???
@Tiger : That is why I have decided to go against everything their idol does. Its in their Khaslat no matter how much you support them they will show their real colors !!!!! I hope you remember intolerance comments ?? I had supported Srk for that.
Great decision from MNS. This time I support their views completely. These Pakis shouldn’t be allowed in India.
@hrithik
Yupp…. I still clearly remember that incident..
