Paresh's comments come after the Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India (COEAI) on Friday announced that movies featuring Pakistani actors -- starting with "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" won't be screened in single screen theatres in India, including Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat.

The decision of the COEAI, which consists of 400 members, came two weeks ahead of the release of "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", which stars Pakistani actor Fawad Khan along with Indian actors Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Movies which are already made with pak artists its better to release them. As mant Indian artists and employees were involved and it will be injustice with them.

But on a serious note Indian producers can alway s drop pak actors for the movies which have not started yet.
This ADHM drame too seems like a publicity stunt, as KJO is famous for these kind of nautanki

first of all i think they should have not alove new movies to be film on them if they have problem, but one which has been already filmed they should aloove they cant put their oen people in debt, but this ban is not impose by modi so people should target the person who did that.
secondly i had a feeling as if it is publicity stunt to make movie famous before its release.

Seriously people really need to understand this simple thing!! The movie has a mere cameo of Fawad of 10mins and then they let the entire Indian cast, crew, producers, distributors...freaking everyone suffer!!! It is a movie for Pete's sake...a form of art made to entertain people irrespective of their cast, gender, ethnicity and NATIONALITY!!!
