Filmmaker Karan Johar is not happy the way of MNS for boycotting artists from Pakistan. He commented on MNS's threaten to Pakistani artist to leave India in 48 hours. In his forthcoming flick, Fawad Khan is seen in major role who is Pakistani actor.

Karan was disturbed with MNS's decisions and quoted saying, “I understand the anger and the anguish that surround us and I empathise, my heart bleeds for the lost lives. There is nothing that can justify this terrible feeling of terror. Then you are faced in a situation such as this (asking for ban on Pak artistes). If this was truly a solution, one would take it.”

He further added, “But this is not a solution. I don’t believe it is. The larger forces have to come together and sort the situation and this cannot be banning talent or art. I feel vulnerable and scared while even saying this. I completely feel the pain and anger. If my film is targeted because of this, it will make me exceptionally sad because my intent was to put out a product out of love and nothing else.”
