Raj Thackeray lifts ban on Ae Dil Hai Mushkil release: Twitterati slam the politician for taking U-Turn!

But, the social media is seemingly not happy with the way the problem was sorted out. I

Looks like Karan Johar and the whole of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil can finally heave a sigh of relief since Raj Thackrey has lifted the ban from the most debated film of the year. Following the Uri attacks, politicians of MNS (Maharashtra Navnirmaan Sena) created a huge hullabaloo over the Pakistani artists working in India. They not only asked them to leave India within 48 hours but also issued a ban on them working in the country hence forth. The ban also impacted a few films that had rolled in Pakistani actors are were prepping for release. And one such movie was Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which star Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan in a special role. The Political party had threatened the film’s release and made it clear that they would cause damage to the theatres that will screen this move.

Karan Johar maintained silence hoping for the matter to die down with time but that didn’t happen. After noticing that the matter has taken an ugly course and his directorial can be landed in a huge mess he decided to approach Home Minister Rajnath Singh for solution. The minister stood by KJo’s side and said that he would do everything to help him release the film safely. So today, along with Mukesh Bhatt (President of Producers’ Guild Association) Karan Johar met Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis. MNS chief, Raj Thackeray was also present at the meeting where they cordially decided to lift the ban over Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s release.

Following the meeting, Mukesh Bhatt also spoke to the media revealing that hence forth they will ban all Pakistani artists from working in the industry. But movies that have already taken these actors and shot their role will be released without any trouble. But as a part of compensation, the producers of these films will have to pay an amount of Rs 5 crore to the Army Welfare Fund. Moreover, KJo will have to add a tribute message to the Uri Martyrs in the beginning of the film.

But, the social media is seemingly not happy with the way the problem was sorted out. In a way they feel that Raj Thackeray and his team won their battle by convincing the ADHM team to oblige to their demands. They took to social media to spew hatred on the whole scenario. Some of their tweets include;

So one seat Raj Thackeray was able to bend the BJP’s CM to demean army to ‘haftavasooli’!?!
Is BJP/Modi really in power or just faking it?

Instead of making Raj Thackeray seem like an honorable stakeholder CM Fadnavis ought to have come down hard on MNS goons. Pathetic surrender

Dear Raj Thackeray please add one more to your list – Producers should return the ticket money to audience if they don’t like the movie.
