Within days of issuing an ‘ultimatum’ to Pakistani film artists to leave the country, members of the Raj Thackeray-led MNS on Tuesday staged a protest outside the production house of director-producer Karan Johar here, leading to the arrest of around 15 of them.

The demonstration was held in front of Mr. Johar’s Dharma Production office, whose ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ has a special appearance by Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.

The MNS has been venting its ire on Pakistani actors and artists in India and also the producers casting them in their projects, following the Uri terror attack. It has also raised a flag against Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees in which Pakistani actor Mahira Khan is playing the female lead.

According to the Amboli police, around 15 MNS workers were arrested after they began protesting and raising slogans against Pakistani artists on the office premises of Mr. Johar in suburban Andheri. They were arrested under Section 68 of Mumbai Police Act.
