MNS Declares Ban
According to reports by Dainik Bhaskar, Mns Leader Ameya Khopkar stated that the party will not allow the film’s release in Maharashtra due to Fawad Khan’s involvement in the project. Ameya said , “We came to know about the release of this film only today when the makers announced it. But we are clearly saying that we will not allow this film to be released in Maharashtra, because it has the presence of a Pakistani action.”
