The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) banned all the Pakistani artists, actors, musicians and technicians from working in India on 29th September. This has ban has been imposed in the wake of Uri attack in which 19 Indian Soldiers lost their lives. Soon after Uri attack, MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) came with a statement that they would stall the releases of films that feature Pakistani Actors.
Salman Khan was questioned at a press conference, about what does he think about the current situation in the country to which he replied: “whatever happened earlier was wrong, however, a reaction has been given to the action”.
He was also asserted against the ban of Pakistani actors and artist in the country by stating, “they are artists, not terrorists. It’s the Government that gives them permits and visas.”
