Total Dhamaal team united on Pakistan artistes' ban

Actor Anil Kapoor said it's a time when the country needs to "stand united".
A day after Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) president announced "no Bollywood filmmaker will take any Pakistani artiste in his film [including] music companies", the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) too announced a total ban on Pakistani actors and artistes.
AICWA general secretary Ronak Suresh Jain wrote in a press statement "AICWA stands with the nation in confronting such terror and inhumanity". In case any organisation would still work with them, them and take strict action against it.
Total Dhamaal director Indra Kumar, a prominent filmmaker in the industry, agreed with the ban saying he wished "all this nonsense would end because people die on both sides". "It's part of our nature... We forget and forgive," he told Mail Today when asked if the ban should be made permanent. "We are very clean-hearted people but they don't feel the same. They don't forget and keep returning violently."
Actor Ajay Devgn who also heads the production house Ajay Devgn FFilms, announced a contribution of Rs 50 lakhs by Team Dhamaal for the Pulwama victims, along with announcements by other stars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Devgn agreed that the flip-flopping should end. "I think there should be a consistency till the way we want the authorities there to react to the terrorists."
Actor Anil Kapoor said it's a time when the country needs to "stand united". "We need to be together and really believe and support and do whatever is required," said the actor. "This [the contribution] is just a small thing."
