Tahir Bhasin replaces Ali Zafar in 'Dear Zindagi'

MUMBAI (Dunya News) – Following Indian extremists threats, Indian actor Tahir Bhasin has replaced Ali Zafar in the upcoming Bollywood movie ‘Dear Zindagi’.
The trailer of the film released earlier has also not featured Ali Zafar and instead stars Tahir Bhasin.
The film stars Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles and is directed by Gauri Shinde.
Previously, Fawad Khan starrer ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ was barred from screening in India after being surrounded with huge controversy that was brought up afterwards Uri attacks, for which India wrongly blamed Pakistan.
Pakistani artists were banned from working in India whereas India’s Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association (COEA) said it would not show any films featuring Pakistani artists at single screen cinemas across four states.
But after the film’s director Karan Johar assured that he will not cast Pakistani actors anymore and released a video message, his movie was successful in gaining a peaceful release.
The ban will also likely affect "Raees" starring Mahira Khan, which is due for release in January.
