Ae Dil Hai Mushkil starring Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma, Fawad Khan and Shah Rukh Khan was an emotional love saga. It turned out to be a blockbuster but had to cross a massive hurdle to hit theatres. In the wake of the Uri attack in 2016, Pakistani actors were asked to leave the country and many multiplexes received threats to not screen the film as it starred Fawad.
