Govt to give 100% support to ADHM release

on Oct 20, 2016

Mukesh Bhatt, who met the Home Minister along with other producers, said: "Rajnath Singh has told us that he is with us and he will speak to all chief ministers to ensure there is no violence". While initial reports said that Karan Johar would be meeting Rajnath Singh, producer Mukesh Bhatt was joined by Dharma Productions' Apurva Mehta and Fox Star Studios' Vijay Singh. The producers discussed the furore surrounding Ae Dil Hai Mushkil starring Fawad Khan and the threats issued against the film and its makers by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Seeking to calm tempers over opposition to the release of his directorial venture, Johar earlier appealed against stalling the release, saying he will not engage with talent from Pakistan in future. Union Minister Babul Supriyo, who accompanied the producers, hit out at Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena or MNS for threatening to vandalise cinemas and block the film.
