It may be recalled Karan expressed concern at the developments, stating that banning Pakistani artistes from working in India was not a solution to terrorism. MNS workers are said to have staged a protest outside the filmmaker's office, shouting slogans against him for casting Fawad in the forthcoming drama "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil". What would further worry Karan is the ban imposed on Pakistani actors from working in India by the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association, late on Thursday night.
