Karan Johar’s movie 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' to face financial loss

Recently, Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar are facing for a financial loss as their upcoming both movies as ' Shivaay ' and ' Ae Dil Hai Mushkil ' are scheduled to be released on Diwali, 2016. The competiton has become more interesting as Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India came to a definite conclusion on Friday that they will not be screening Fawad Khan starrer ' Ae Dil Hai Mushkil ' in four states that was slated for a Diwali release. Film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil ' s profit will be affected after being banned in four states as another a huge budget film ' Shivaay ' is releasing on the same day. COEAI chief Nitin Datar said, “We have decided that we will not screen these films." The single screen owners in 4 states-Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa and Karnataka have taken a call to put Karan Johar ' s imminent film on hold. COEAI ' s president Nitin Datar said that the decision was not taken under any political pressure, but rather, keeping public sentiment in mind. On Saturday, COEAI meeting took place and it was decided that keeping in mind the patriotic feelings and the national interest of our country, we request all our members and exhibitors to refrain from screening movies which have involvement of any Pakistani artist, technicians, directors, music directors etc. He said that while the decision to not screen certain films would cause financial losses for the theatre owners, there might have been greater losses if their screens were disordered. "The association is not going to screen any movie and the decision implies from today until things don ' t get normal.States included under the association are Gujarat,Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa," Datar added. In the wake of Uri attack last month, Fawad, Mahira Khanand other Pakistani actors were targeted by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), which had issued an ultimatum to them to leave India within 48 hours.
