Karan Johar relents, Bollywood fumes

After weeks of sleepless nights over the ambiguity of its film’s release, team Ae Dil Hai Mushkil breathed a sigh of relief on Saturday, when Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray’s squad promised to ‘allow’ a smooth release of the film.

It came at a heavy price of course —Rs 5 crore to be precise. Complying with MNS’ demand, Karan Johar allegedly agreed to pay ‘Rs 5 crores to the soldiers’ fund along with paying a tribute to the martyrs of the Uri terror attack (this will be shown as a slide at the beginning of the film). His contemporaries in the show business however, aren’t lauding the gesture.
