Maharashtra Navnirman Sena led by Raj Thackeray, on Wednesday claimed all the Pakistani actors have left India 48 hours after his ultimatum.
MNS claims that there are no Pakistani artists like Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in Mumbai as all of them have gone back to Pakistan.
MNS recently issued threat letters to various production houses for hiring Pakistani artist for their shows, TV serials and films. On Wednesday, his party had written to Shah Rukh Khan's Red chillies and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions issuing a threat that they will not allow the release of 'Raees' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' in Mumbai.&nbsp;
Staying firm on its stand, MNS has maintained that unless production houses of big budget movies like 'Raees' and 'Ae dil Hai Mushkil' omits the portion of Pakistani artists, the party will not permit these films to hit the Mumbai theaters.
"We dont have anything against individual actors, but you cant separate art and the nation. Country first, said MNS cine wing President Amey Khopkar.
Shalini Thackery, an MNS leader said, "When our soldiers are attacked and our artists are being ill-treated, how can we allow Pakistani artists to come here and perform? Though we are personally not against Pakistan but for us nation comes first and such cultural isolation is required for Pakistan."
Shalini also raised the visa issue of Pakistani artists and that all Pakistanis come as tourist and work here, which is illegal. "How can we allow these artists who come here as tourist and work. It's completely illegal. We have raised this issue many times with government also but there was no action from them" said Shalini.
MNS has warned production houses that after this ultimatum, if Pakistani actors are hired in future, then production houses and the artists should get ready for a MNS style protest.
