Playing politics over art

Finally “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” will be released in India and in other territories after producers promised not to use Pakistani actors in the future. One thing is for sure — politics plays a big role in the way Bollywood operates. Many politicians with zero credibility keep issuing all kinds of statements just to be in news. The way producers of “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” were harassed speaks volumes about how politicians can play their games by latching onto any non-issue. On second thoughts, the way producers capitulated was also meek. — Syed Ishaan via Facebook
