After Ajay Devgn said that he will not release his forthcoming film Total Dhamaal in Pakistan, now the makers of Kriti Sanon and Kartik Aaryan’s Luka Chuppi and Diljit Dosanjh’s “Arjun Patiala” also announce that they will not release the film in Pakistan.
Producer Dinesh Vijan announced on Tuesday via a statement that he has cancelled a contract with the Pakistan distributor of the films, and that his banner Maddock Films will not be releasing ‘Luka Chuppi’, ‘Arjun Patiala’ and ‘Made in China’ in the territory.
The decision comes in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, in which 40 CRPF soldiers were killed.
