MNS allows release of Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil...'

The MNS decision followed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' direct intervention in the matter -- a day after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh visited Mumbai and two days after he met representatives of Bollywood. However, MNS President Raj Thackeray said henceforth, all Pakistani artistes -- actors, singers, among others -- shall be permanently banned from Bollywood. "Why should Pakistani actors be given the red carpet welcome when our soldiers are being killed on the borders? Was the Uri attack the first one," an aggressive Thackeray demanded.
