Actor-Producer Farhan Akhtar has lashed out on MNS who allegedly demanded a 5 crore donation for Army from the makers of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, for a safe release of the film.
Akhtar criticised MNS for demanding filmmakers to contribute Rs 5 crore to Army welfare fund as penance for casting Pakistani artistes in their films, and said that it has set a terrible precedent. During a press conference, the director turned actor made it clear that he does not support such extortion and the government should protect the makers if the film has been made lawfully.
Akhtar is the producer of SRK starrer Raees which marks the debut of Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. Akhtar said, "There is no question of paying any money as the Army has itself denied any money which seems extorted from the producers."
Raees will release in January 2017 and Akhtar believes that the government will provide proper security if or when any unlawful, violent protests against the film occur.
