The MNS had demanded that Pakistani actors be removed from all the films and should not be allowed to work in Bollywood. Later, the extremist group allowed screening after filmmaker Karan Johar was forced to pay extortion money.
In response, Pakistani distributors and exhibitors have also stopped screening of Indian movies here.
