After 26/11 attack that rocked Mumbai in 2008, Pakistani players were abandoned from the cricket fiesta IPL 2009 onwards. An undeclared ban looms large over the Pakistani actors after the political outfit MNS handed them an ultimatum of 48 hours to leave the country. President of Chitrapat Sena, MNS Amay Khopkar stated that India just can’t sit back and relax after losing 18 Jawans in Uri attack. Especially the forthcoming movies “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” and “Raees” are at the target of MNS. The party has declared that they will start a nationwide protest and ensure these two movies are not released.
It has created a buzz on the social media platform since two days. While one side opines that art should not be mixed with the politics and banning Pakistani actors will stall the projects they are involved in. Subsequently, It will result in the financial loss of Bollywood industry. Whereas the deafening silence of these actors on the Uri attack has hurt many badly. A section thinks that there are many Indian theatre artists struggling for the break, why not to give these deprived and deserved people a chance? So will It be curtains to the Bollywood careers of these Pakistani actors if producers takes MNS seriously?
