A still from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Despite filmmaker Karan Johar’s ‘settlement’ with the saffron brigade to ensure the smooth release of his latest, the mushkils for this politically charged film are far from over. A week after Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s release, a theatre in Kalyan was vandalised as activists, allegedly belonging to Sambhaji Brigade, ransacked a ticket window and damaged property to reanimate the ghost of the Pakistani actor controversy. The Mahatma Phule police have registered a case against the vandals and further investigations are underway. According to the police, the incident took place on Thursday at around 2 pm, when some 12 people made their way into Sarvoday Mall in Kalyan west, started vandalising the booking counter and went on to ink the poster.
