Some radical Hindu groups held protests against "Ae Dil
Hai Mushkil" in many cities of Madhya Pradesh on Friday. But, theatres
continued to show the film which released on the occasion of 'Dhanteras'.
Hindu groups are opposing the movie as it features a Pakistani
actor Fawad Khan in one main role.
Hindu right-wing groups led by the Maharashtra Navnirman
Sena (MNS) had given a call for banning Pakistani artistes working in Bollywood
following a terrorist attack on an army camp in Uri sector of Jammu and Kahsmir in
September.
Since the Karan Johar directorial features Fawad Khan, calls
were made to ban "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" also. But, the movie was approved
for release by MNS after Karan Johar made an appeal to the people to not stall
the release of the movie and also agreed to donate Rs 5 crore to an army
welfare fund.
The Shiv Sena workers held a protest outside a cineplex at
Tatya Tope Nagar here. But their attempt to storm the theatre was thwarted by
police.
A Hindu group stopped the screening of the movie in a
multiplex for some time at Samdareeya Mall in Jabalpur.
Hindu groups held similar protests in Gwalior also.
