Ahead Of Fawad Khan's Film Release In India, A Warning From Raj Thackeray

Raj Thackeray's statement comes as the film is set to become the first Pakistani movie in over a decade to release in Indian theatres, with the premiere scheduled for October 2.

Ahead of the release of Pakistani film 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in India, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray has issued a stern warning, stating that the film will not be allowed to screen in Maharashtra. Mr Thackeray's statement comes as the film is set to become the first Pakistani movie in over a decade to release in Indian theatres, with the premiere scheduled for October 2. फवाद खान नावाच्या पाकिस्तानी अभिनेत्याचा, 'लिजेंड ऑफ मौला जट' नावाचा सिनेमा लवकरच भारतात प्रदर्शित होणार आहे. महाराष्ट्र नवनिर्माण सेना हा सिनेमा कुठल्याही परिस्थितीत महाराष्ट्रात प्रदर्शित होऊ देणार नाही. पाकिस्तानी कलाकारांचे सिनेमे मुळात भारतात प्रदर्शित का होऊ दिले जातात?…

Mr Thackeray criticised the release of films featuring Pakistani actors in India, claiming that cultural exchanges with Pakistan should not be tolerated, given the strained relations between the two countries.

"Art does not have national borders, this is all right in other cases, but in the case of Pakistan, this will not work at all. What is the beginning of bringing the country's actors here to dance and show their films on the single issue of hatred of India? Let alone Maharashtra, the government should not allow this movie to be screened in any state of the country," he questioned. "Of course, what the rest of the states should do is their question. It is certain that this movie will not be released in Maharashtra."
