Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's (MNS) cinema wing chief Amey Khopkar on Sunday opposed Padma Shri award to singer Adnan Sami and called upon the central government to take back the decision.

"I greet everyone who has been conferred with the prestigious award except Adnan Sami. MNS opposes the move of giving the award to Adnan Sami and I request the government to take back the decision," Khopkar told ANI. He said if this decision is not taken back, MNS will "organise a huge protest".
