Banning Pakistani artistes from working in India has become a huge and heated debate everywhere. In the wake of Uri terror attack, political party MNS demanded a ban on Pakistani actors and also asked them to leave the country in the given time. Following the protest, the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association(IMPPA) banned Pakistani actors and technicians from working in Bollywood. Bollywood’s biggest banner films, ‘Raees’, which stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil‘, which stars Fawad Khan, have also landed in trouble.
