Actors like Mahira Khan (starring Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Raees') and "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" star Fawad Khan are hijacking the opportunities of Indian artistes, Shalini Thackeray, MNS general secretary rpt MNS general secretary, told a press conference.
She said these two actors have been served the ultimatum to leave the country.
In Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", which is slated to release next month, Fawad is in a supporting role Mahira plays the lead role opposite SRK in 'Raees'.
Shalini told PTI that their Chitrapat wing has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to all the Pakistani actors to leave the country.
"We have started dashing off letters to Pakistani actors, whose country is allegedly sponsoring terrorism, to stop their acting business here.
"We would also issue letters to the producers on what grounds they are hiring the Pakistani actors, when there are ample number of actors here in the country and struggling to find an opportunity," she said.
In a country of 1.25 billion people where lakhs and crores struggle a lot for an opportunity to be launched in movies, these big brands are giving opportunity to Pakistani artistes, she added.
