The FWICE, in a letter, stated that his performance on invitation of a Pakistani will set a wrong precedent in view of the current alarming situation between the two countries.

The body wrote to Ministry of External Affairs to ‘cancel the visa of singer and actor’.

The FWICE has already banned singer Mika Singh aka Amrik Singh from any performance, recording, playback singing and acting in India 'irrevocably forever' after his Pakistani visit last month.

Bollywood star Salman Khan  also canceled a US visit with Mika Singh  reportedly over the singer's trip for a live performance at a wedding in Karachi.
