MNS demands to Replace Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
The MNS demanded the replacement of Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan from their respective Bollywood projects "Raees" and "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil".

At a press conference here, Amey Khopkar, President of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's film wing, said: "The day Pakistan will stop attacking our country, we will extend the hand of friendship. We do not have anything against art but the artistes who are employed in India, but remained mum on the terror attack in Uri.
"We gave them an ultimatum of 48 hours to leave India. You can rest assured that they have left, but if we find any Pakistani artiste, we won't spare (them)."
MNS workers protested outside filmmaker Karan Johar's Dharma Productions office for casting Fawad in "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil".
Talking about Karan, Khopkar said, "Karan Johar isn't bigger than the government. If Karan Johar and 'Raees' makers don't replace the actors, we will not allow 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and 'Raees' to release."
"Raees" marks Mahira's entry into Bollywood and features superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, while "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" stars Fawad with Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma.
The party's General Secretary Shalini Thackeray said, "Fawad Khan is not the only target. We are against every Pakistani actor. We will not allow any Pakistani actor to work in Mumbai."

by banning films and actors...can the attack stop?...will terrorism stop?...how stupid can both governments be...sit down and discuss how to destroy terrrorism...not banning films and actors..it has nothing to do with the attacks...they are just doing the job which for they are paid for...regarding replacing...do they even know that if a replace happens...they have to re-shoot the entire film...its a waste of money and time...deleting the parts of the concern actors..it will change the entire flow of the storyline...it might not work for the audience...its a big loss...why bring in dirty politics in art...art doesn't need politics involvement...films are fiction...why protest here and there

Nothing anyone can say does justice to those people that lost lives in Uri attacks, maybe that's why they stayed quiet

Pay attention to " but remained mum" part - We do not have anything against art but the artistes who are employed in India, but remained mum on the terror attack in Uri.
