Pakistani actor Fawad Khan's film The Legend of Maula Jatt is going to release in India on October 2, which has caused Raj Thackeray to flare up. He said that under no circumstances will he allow any Pakistani artist's film to be released in Maharashtra. He has also warned theater owners that they will face trouble if they play Pakistani films in their theatres.
Raj Thackeray angrily wrote on social media that Pakistani actor Fawad Khan's film The Legend of Maula Jatt is going to release in India soon. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena will not allow the film to be released in Maharashtra under any circumstances. Why are Pakistani actors' films allowed to release in India?

Raj Thackeray warns theater owners
Raj Thackeray further wrote that the government should not allow this film to be released in Maharashtra or any other state in the country. Now the question is what other states will do, but what is certain is that the film will not be allowed to release in Maharashtra.
Earlier in his post, Raj Thackeray highlighted the ongoing controversy over the release of films by Pakistani actors. He has written that everyone will remember the warning given by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena when such incidents happened before. So theater owners are now kindly requested not to get confused with the screening of films.

Generosity will prove costly for theater owners: Raj Thackeray
Raj Thackeray further writes that Navratri festival will start around the release of this film. I don't want any protest in Maharashtra and neither do the Chief Minister, Home Minister and Director General of Police. We don't want anyone to have to struggle, so we should take timely action and see that this film is not released in our country. If theater owners, who are reluctant to provide theaters for Marathi films, allow Pakistani cinema to come to our soil, this generosity will prove costly for them. I am sure the government will give due attention to this.
After the announcement of the film, a front has been raised against Pakistani actors once again. Before Raj Thackeray, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Amay Khopkar said that if Pakistani artists come to India now, they will have to suffer the consequences.
