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’.
