Here are the two teams reacting to the partial ban on Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil after an Indian political party threatened to vandalise Indian theatres because the film has an actor hailing from Pakistan. His film Shivaay, which cost significantly more than Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil just rolled with the popular tide and condemned the Pak artistes ban. Alia BhattShe said that the political climate has deteriorated and it is not any film's fault and therefore Karan Johar shouldn't have any problem releasing Ae Dil Hai Mushkil fearing violence from domestic elements. Priyanka ChopraPriyanka Chopra made a compelling argument in favour of Karan Johar saying why should art always be sacrificed when there is political tension between two countries? Paresh RawalEven though he glazed both sides of the argument, but he supported Karan Johar's film saying and Indian producer should not be punished for his work which began way before the Indo-Pak tensions escalated.
