As the release date of ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ is inching closer, more and more Bollywood insiders are coming out in the open to support the Karan Johar film that is stuck amidst major controversy.
This time around, it was Naseeruddin Shah who took everyone by surprise with his opinion. The veteran, who was present for a book launch, asserted that he will surely watch the film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Anushka Sharma.
Speaking on the MNS ban, he said, “The film industry is an easy target. They (MNS) have as much fun targeting the industry as they would have while watching films made by Bollywood. We haven’t broken diplomatic ties with Pakistan, nor are we in the state of war, or have sealed our borders. Only artistes who aim to spread the message of love and peace are being attacked.”
In the past few days, reports suggested that threatening messages were sent to multiplex owners regarding the release of the film. When asked about the same, Naseer was quoted saying, “According to me, the brave hearts (MNS) who are threatening them (makers and multiplexes) with dire consequences should fight the enemies on the border, kill Pakistani intruders. What’s the point of threatening defenceless/harmless artistes?”
