Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday assured Mukesh Bhatt, president of a film producers’ body, that Karan Johar’s “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” will get a safe and secure release in theatres on October 28 — two days before Diwali — amid vandalism threats from MNS.
A delegation led by Bhatt went to meet Singh, who assured a “great Diwali” to them with the release of the film, which is under threat from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.
Bhatt, President of the Film and Television Producers Guild of India, told media here after the meeting: “We came to meet Rajnath Singh because we were scared that law and order in our nation, especially in Mumbai, was getting out of hand.
“We came here to get assurance from the Home Ministry that they will tell chief ministers of all the states to keep the law and order intact, and won’t let ‘Aa Dil Hai Mushkil’ get into trouble when it releases on October 28.”
