Since the Uri Attack the tensions between India and Pakistan are increasing day by day. IMPPA has temporarily banned Pakistani artists from working in India. Even big banner films like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Raees were surrounded by controversies because of their Pakistani star cast.
Bollywood fraternity got divided into two having both for and against opinion towards the ban. Some said art does not have any boundaries whereas others views favored Indian army’s sacrifices. Meanwhile, movie makers were demanding to let their films get released to avoid heavy losses.
It was getting absolutely ‘mushkil’ for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to release…
Now, Raj Thackeray’s party MNS has come up with a condition under which they will call off their ban from Karan Johar’s controversial ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. The condition here says that filmmakers who cast Pakistani actors should donate Rs. 5 crores to the army.
Can you believe this?
A joint meeting held between Karan Johar, Mukesh Bhatt, Raj Thackeray and Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis. Soon after the meeting Thackeray revealed this condition to media. Banning the artists and stopping the money flow from India to Pakistan was understood. But come on, raising money from Karan Johar’s film to fund Indian army is absolutely dumb!
In between all the chaos, A Mumbai-based man Hardik Rajgor posted a really intellectual post explaining Raj Thackeray’s threats, Karan Johar’s problems, need to release the movie and the Chief Minister no formal disapproval to the threats of violence.
This is what Hardik has written…
Imagine a child A who is being bullied in school by kid B. A comes home and tells it to his mother. A’s mother approached the school principal. The principal calls B’s mom to school. They have a meeting. They arrive at an arrangement that A will pay 10000 for the school fund. The school, B give an assurance that the bullying will stop. How awful do you think this arrangement is? The only person who sacrifices anything is the person who is being bullied.
A is Karan Johar, B is Raj Thackeray and the principal is Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis.
Mr Fadnavis, you should be ashamed of yourself for letting a nothing party undermine the process of democracy and extorting money from directors and producers. You should have been there when the threat was made and made an unequivocal promise that the film would be released, and I will provide security, as it’s my duty as the Chief Minister of the State.
Here is Hardik’s original facebook post…
