Now, another hurdle has come in his path. The Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India (COEAI) have decided that they won't be releasing the film in India. They have told all the members to not to release the film because the sentiments of the Nation are against Pakistan artists.
COEAI President Nitin Datar said after a meeting of members: "It was decided that keeping in mind the patriotic feelings and national interest, we have requested all member exhibitors to refrain from screening movies which have involvement of any Pakistani artiste, technician, director or music director.
"We are also in the process of requesting other associations connected with the film industry to support the sentiments in the best interest of our nation," he added.
The decision comes amid India-Pakistan tensions following a terror attack which killed 19 Indian soldiers. The Indian Army then carried out surgical attacks on terrorist launch pads in Pakistani territory.
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena had earlier warned Pakistani actors to quit India.
