Join UsKaran Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil release row has been in the news since the past three weeks now. After speculations arose that the film may not see light of the day, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had promised it a peaceful release.
While Raj Thackeray led MNS had full plans to stop ADHM’s release because of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s role, Karan Johar and Producer’s guild head, Mukesh Bhatt recently approached Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis.
After a meeting with Thackeray and CM, the verdict was out on Saturday, guaranteeing a peaceful release. Calling off protests, Raj Thackeray urged that a mention to the Uri martyrs be put before the start of the film. He also coaxed the CM to back his condition of asking all producers casting Pakistani actors to pay 5 crores to Army fund which was given a nod by the CM.
This move of Fadnavis has not gone well with B-town celebrities and talented actress Shabana Azmi expressed her opposition on Twitter with a string of tweets.
She tweeted:
CM Fadnavis shows scant respect for Home Ministers assurance of safe passage for #ADHM. BJP better haul him up and demand explanation
