The issue of Pakistan artistes working in India is escalating day-by-day, with the (MNS) threatening to beat filmmakers like Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt, if they work with them.

The MNS has also threatened that they won’t allow movies like Raees and Aye Dil Hai Mushkil to be released in Mumbai.

“For MNS, our country and our soldiers are important, and not the Pakistan artistes. We will beat Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt if they try to cast Pakistan artistes in their films,” said Ameya Khopkar, President MNS film wing.
