Did Salman Khan really call Raj Thackeray for the release of 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'?

Several reports have been doing the rounds that Salman Khan had called up Raj Thackeray and talked to him about the release of Karan Johar's upcoming flick Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which also stars Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.

Recently, the MNS workers had staged a protest outside Karan Johar's office asking the director to remove Fawad Khan's scenes from the film else they won't let ADHM to release in India. Following this, word started doing the rounds that Salman Khan, who's also friends with Raj Thackeray, has called him up and asked him to sort out the issue and allow the release of the film.

However, as per a BollywoodLife report, at a recent press conference, the General Secretary of MNS, Shalini Thackeray, has rubbished the rumours saying, "This news about Salman Khan calling up Raj Thackeray is false." She also hit out against the gen-y actors of Bollywood like Varun Dhawan and Sushant Singh Rajput saying, "Whoever is supporting Karan Johar, be it Varun Dhawan or Sushant Singh, where were they when jawans were dying? After Uri attacks, the government didn’t do anything. The moment we said ban Pakistani actors, sympathy has started flowing in."

She further reiterated that they'll neither allow Karan's ADHM to release nor will they allow the release of any other film that has Pakistani actors in it. She said, "Karan has asked if by banning Pakistani actors terrorism will stop? Let me tell him that country comes first and art later. We have also sent a letter to Red Chillies in this matter.”
