Prakash Raj ridicules ‘ban’ on Pak artistes post Uri attack
Prakash Raj, speaking to Talkies, said, “Its non-sense. What have the artistes got to do with the Uri attack? They are not terrorists; they are artistes and world citizens. If that is the case will you ban Shakespeare in India because British ruled us? It’s not right.”
Prakash Raj ridicules ‘ban’ on Pak artistes post Uri attack
In the wake of September 18 Uri attack, Maharasthra Navnirman Sena, the Raj Thackeray-led political outfit, has called for the replacement of Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan from their respective Bollywood projects ‘Raees’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.
Reacting strongly to this, Prakash Raj, speaking to Talkies, said, “Its non-sense. What have the artistes got to do with the Uri attack? They are not terrorists; they are artistes and world citizens. If that is the case will you ban Shakespeare in India because British ruled us? It’s not right.”
The actor, who has many Hindi films to his credit, added, “What if Pakistan says they will stop listening to Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar? Is it ok for you? It’s not the way. Find the guy who attacked us. By stopping somebody what will we get?”
