Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is finally going to be released today after Karan Johar brokered a deal with MNS leader, Raj Thackeray. While the debate about the deal and whether Pakistani artistes should be allowed to work in India or not keeps raging on, here’s a piece of news.
According to a review put out by Gulf News, Fawad Khan’s role has been written on as only a “special appearance” in the film.
Fawad Khan, who is written on the credit rolls as “special appearance” isn’t given much heft to make his role special. His love story with Alizeh, which showed immense promise, seems to have been killed unceremoniously. What went wrong between Alizeh and his character is skimmed over and leaves you wanting more.Review in Gulf News
From this first review, it seems that the promise of a great love story between Fawad and Anushka has been “killed unceremoniously.”
Could it be that this was done following the controversy about the ban on Pakistani artistes? Did Karan bow down to the pressure, even at the expense of his story line suffering?
