4. PAK ARTISTES BAN: ALI ZAFAR NOT BEING REPLACED IN _DEAR ZINDAGI_ Pakistani actor and singer Ali Zafar does not feature in a promotional song of upcoming film _Dear Zindagi_ but is part of
the movie's cast, sources close to its producers said. There was speculation that amid the row over the working of Pakistani artistes in Bollywood, 36-year-old Zafar was replaced by
Tahir Raj Bhasin in the movie. The shooting of the mentioned track with the film's lead actress Alia Bhatt and Bhasin further fuelled the rumour mills. A source close to film's
production house Dharma Productions, however, refuted these replacement reports and said that Tahir has only only for the promotional song. Tahir is best known for his negative role in the
Rani Mukerji-starrer _Mardaani_. Sources close to the 29-year-old actor maintain a "no- comments" stand. Director Gauri Shinde’s venture _Dear Zindagi_ also features Shah Rukh
Khan, Angad Bedi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Kapoor. Recently, Karan Johar's _Ae Dil Hai Mushkil_ had to bear the brunt of protests from a few groups as it starred Pakistani actor Fawad
Khan. Many groups, including the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, had asked for a boycott of Pakistani artistes from the Indian film industry post the Uri attack. (Source: PTI)
