Bhatt and others had met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday about the release of the film.
 
The Indian Express quoted Raj Thackeray as saying, "“We have always protested against Pakistani artistes but Bollywood never understood earlier. Now they have realised. Terrorist attacks have always been happening. I told Mukesh Bhatt. Pakistan bans our films and channels as per whims and fancies. So why are we rolling the red carpet for Pakistani actors."
