Karan Johar and Fawad Khan, who stars in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'

In the wake of the Uri attacks last month, the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) announced a ban on Pakistani artistes in Bollywood, after which the fate of films, which feature Pakistani names, has remained dodgy. That the right wing outfits have threatened to disallow release Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' starring Fawad Khan this Diwali and Shah Rukh Khan's 'Raees' with Mahira Khan on R-Day 2017 only adds to the industry's woes.
