Here's how Shah Rukh Khan reacted to MNS appeal to boycott Dilwale

After receiving a lot of criticism for his opinion on intolerance, Shah Rukh Khan has been targeted by Raj Thackeray-led MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena), who recently appealed to the public to boycott King Khan's upcoming movie 'Dilwale' as SRK has not done enough for Maharashtra and its dying farmers.

Bans and boycotts seem to be trending on the agenda of various political and social groups. Some or the other group is ready to retaliate to or defame the actors of every big film on the verge of release, and it looks like the 'Baadshah of Bollywood' wasn't spared either.

As per reports, the statement issued by MNS stated: "Farmers in Maharashtra, especially in Marathwada, are reeling under drought. Khan, who has been residing in the state and has made a lot of money, has not helped farmers in distress. When his help is needed, he isn't forthcoming. We are not seeking a ban. We are only appealing people to boycott the film. SRK is taking Maharashtra for granted.' [sic]

However, King Khan, when questioned about the boycott, at a recent promotional event, made a witty remark, "We have made a positive film, so I am sure that people will watch it." [sic]

Seems like the 'King of Romance' is also the 'King of Cool', nonetheless!

'Dilwale' is set to hit screens on 18th December 2015. Directed by Rohit Shetty the film also stars Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.
