Filmmaker Karan Johar ran into a great trouble a few
months ago over the release of his newest film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil after the
political parties threatened to replace Pakistani artists Imran Abbas and Fawad
Khan in the film following the Uri attacks.
Numerous political parties even cautioned the filmmaker
against releasing his movie. After much dialogs, MNS Chief finally agreed to
allow the smooth release of the movie in Maharashtra, after a compensation
(read- extortion) of INR 5 crore was demanded.
Karan even released a video of himself wherein he apologized
and guaranteed of not working with Pakistani artists hereafter. Well, while it
was a serious situation for him then, the video did receive a lot of criticism
on social media with people criticizing him for having succumbed to the
political pressure. His good friend Twinkle Khanna even made fun of it on his
talk show Koffee with Karan.
In an interview to a famous news portal, Karan remembered
the incident and told, "I felt spineless after having to apologise in
'hostage video' before Ae Dil Hai Mushkil's release," told
Karan.
Previously too, speaking about this, Karan had told that he
felt terrible to be in a place in his life where he had to "sit in front
of the camera" and speak about his "nationalism and patriotism".
Amongst the political tension, the film starring Ranbir
Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan released
last year with decent reviews.
