Recently, Shiv Sena had said that it would not
allow any Pakistani actor, cricketer or
performer to step on Maharashtra's soil.
Actor Sidharth Malhotra has come out in
support of his co-star Fawad Khan, in the face
of Shiv Sena seeking a ban on Pakistani
artists performing in Maharashtra. The 30-
year-old Hasee Toh Phasee actor is working
with Fawad in Kapoor & Sons , which also stars
Alia Bhatt.
"Everybody has the freedom to work. He has
been working with us for a while now. I believe
creativity crosses border," Sidharth told
reporters here at the opening ceremony of the
17th Jio MAMI Mumbai International Film
Festival.
Recently, Shiv Sena had said that it would not
allow any Pakistani actor, cricketer or
performer to step on Maharashtra's soil.
Seeking a ban, the party targeted Pakistani
actors like Fawad and Mahira Khan, who are
trying to gain a foothold in the Hindi film
industry.
Meanwhile, Sidharth praised her rumoured
girlfriend Alia's latest on-screen outing
Shaandaar , despite the film largely getting
negative reviews. "I saw Shaandaar and I loved
it. It's a great film." The Vikas Bahl-directed
romantic-comedy also starred Shahid Kapoor
and father Pankaj Kapur.https://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-sidharth-malhotra-supports-kapoor-and-sons-co-star-fawad-khan-amid-sena-controversy-2140169
