MNS leader Amey Khopkar said his party will continue to take a forceful stand against Indian filmmakers including Pakistani actors in their productions.
"If Karan Johar thinks he made a statement because he was under gunpoint then he was right. We will not compromise when it comes to Pakistani actors. It was indeed a threat," Khopkar says.
"Everyone said it as a joke, and I don’t blame anyone because it really felt like that. It felt like there was an invisible gun on my head,” Johar told Vir Sanghvi on the show Virtuosity.

Filmmaker and social activist Ashoke Pandit has responded to Karan's revelation and said that it was "uncalled for" as it would reignite the whole controversy.
"Working with Pakistani actors and not identifying with people's emotions is like committing a mistake and then making accusations of a gun being pointed. Now things are over and people are peaceful, and he is trying to rake up the issue again, which means he wants to create this controversy again," Pandit told CNN-News18 over the phone.
