According to recent updates, Fawad Khan will not be cut from upcoming Bollywood film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

The Indian Express reported that ADHM has been passed by the Indian censor board and though three ‘intimate’ scenes between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor have been cut; there are no other changes that will be made to the film.

“There are no cuts being made to the film. No changes of any sort, as being reported. The film will release on October 28,” the publication quoted a source.

Earlier this week the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) issued threats to filmmakers Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt, saying that they would beat them up if they continue to work with Pakistani artists, also threatening to physically assault Pakistani artistes.

“We had appealed to film industry not to work with Pakistani artistes in the wake of the Uri attack. However, Bhatt and Johar have not given a positive response to our appeal,” Head of MNS Chitrapat Sena, Amey Khopkar said.

“If Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt even dare to make a film with Pakistani actors in the future, we will beat them up on the streets. We will also thrash Pakistani artistes,” he added.

However, Indian media reports that those threats have fallen on deaf ears as Karan Johar continues to hold his ground against the wishes of the Hindu-right wing party.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had yet to be presented before the censor board in Pakistan, which will then determine if it is fit for release.

Mahira still a part of Raees, director denies cutting her role

It seems like Mahira Khan is also safe from replacement in her upcoming Bollywood debut film, Raees.

According to Filmfare, producer Ritesh Sidhwani has said that Raees will release in on its earlier announced release date, January 26 — and hinted that it will not suffer any cuts.

“We are sticking to the release date we announced earlier for Raees,” said Ritesh. “I don’t think something like a ban has happened. The association has itself written to the government that people who have already made their films, who have completed their shooting, we should respect that. Let those movies release and whatever the government decides in the future, they will take a call on that.”

In addition to that, the director of the film, Rahul Dholakia has denied replacing Mahira in the movie.

According to Indian media, Rahul Dholakia confirmed that no changes are being made in the film and Mahira’s role is not being replaced.

He informed that shooting of a song is pending as the location is yet to be finalised.

Rahul also revealed that the song will probably be shot in a foreign country and not in India due to the current threats.
