Ranbir Kapoor chooses to stay mum on controversy with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Mumbai: Ranbir Kapoor’s much anticipated film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ is gearing up for release this Diwali but the film has already landed in several controversies till now.

First was about its clash with Ajay Devgn’s ‘Shivaay’, which was followed by an audio clip of Kamaal R Khan saying that he had taken money to promote the film. However, the biggest controversy erupted when Raj Thackeray’s political party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) issued a warning to Pakistani actors and artistes to leave the country in the wake of the deadly attacks in Uri. The party had also stated that they would not allow films like ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Raees’ to release as they had Pakistani actors like Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan acting in them.

Karan Johar, the director of the film, recently stated that boycotting Pakistani artistes is not the solution to terrorism. His lead actor Ranbir Kapoor was also asked about the controversy recently on the sidelines of the film's promotions on a dance based reality show. Ranbir replied, “I can speak about my film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. Other than this I don't know anything about other rumours."

The trailer of the film was released recently and it also stars Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
