ADHM team meets Indian home minister in final plea for security

In a final plea for security senior producers for Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil met the home minister Rajnath Singh today.

With days left for the movie release its team is worried about security at multiplexes which are under threat by extremists in India who have threatened to vandalize them.

The bone of contention is Pakistani actor Fawad Khan who has been cast in the movie.

Only a day ago, Karan Johar was assured by the Mumbai Police of ADHM's smooth release on October 28, but Raj Thackeray-led MNS on Wednesday issued a fresh threat to cinemas against the screening of the film.

A spokesperson for the MNS said they will beat anyone trying to stop them from protest against the movie or halting its screening, according to Indian media outlets. The hard-right Hindu party this time objected to Karan Johar for not taking names of the Pakistani actors.

On Tuesday, the director succumbed to the pressure from extremist elements as he announced to not work with artists from 'neighbouring country' in future.

He said that when 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' was being shot the climate and circumstances were very different.

"For me, my country comes first," he said.

The movie is expected to release in over 2700 screens on Diwali despite a ban on it.
