Bollywood: On Tuesday, the teaser of Abir Gulaal, starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, was released. The film is scheduled for release on May 9 but is facing issues because the MNS leader says he will not let Abir Gulaal be released in Maharashtra.
Following the release of the teaser, as per Danik Bhaskar, MNS spokesperson Ameya Khopkar stated that they were against the film’s release in Maharashtra.
“Hume aaj hi is film ke release ki jaankari mili, jab film ke makers ne iska elaan kiya. Lekin hum saaf taur par yeh keh rahe hain ki hum is film ko Maharashtra mein release nahi hone denge, kyunki ismein Pakistani actor ki maujoodgi hai. Hum kisi bhi haal mein aisi films ko Maharashtra mein release nahi hone denge. Hum is film se judi aur bhi jaankari juta rahe hain aur fir is par apna poora bayan saamne rakhenge (We came to know about the release of this film only today, when the makers of the film announced it. But we are clearly saying that we will not allow this film to be released in Maharashtra because it has the presence of a Pakistani actor. We will not allow such films to be released in Maharashtra under any circumstances. We are gathering more information related to this film and then will put forward our full statement on it,” Ameya was quoted as saying.
In the very same report. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam also expressed his views about the film. He said, “When a film is released from Pakistan, Indian people do not like to watch it. It is a different thing to watch one or two films for a minute, but the films of Pakistani artists do not become very popular among the Indian audience. That is why Pakistani stars have never been able to succeed in India. I would advise Pakistanis that instead of exploring the Indian market, it is better to work in their own country. If the central government has made a policy, it should be implemented. I believe that the government should decide whether Pakistani films should be allowed to come to India or not. Whether Pakistani artists should be allowed to work in India or not should also be the government's decision."
