Members of the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) met Shalini Thackeray, the working President of Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karmachari Sena and other MNS officials on Thursday evening, requesting them to allow the release of `Ae Dil Hai Mushkil` and `Raees` - two films that star Pakistani actors. However, MNS has refused to greenlight the films` release.  Shalini Thackeray said there  is no longer an issue the people are against the idea of watching a film which has Pakistani artistes, considering the situation in the country now. In the meantime,  both IMPPA and MNS have requested the government to not grant visa to Pakistani artists.
