    There is speculation that Karan Johar might replace Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkilwith Saif Ali Khan and change his lead female characters’ (Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s characters’) country of origin (Pakistan), in the wake of the anti-Pak wave. Yes, Karan Johar is facing the heat for his next release Ae Dil Hai Mushkiland it isn’t just because the film features Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. The other big issue that the filmmaker faces is that his leading ladies’ characters, played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma, are Pakistani residents. In the film, ARB plays poetess Saba Taliyar Khan and Anushka plays Alizeh, a girl who loses her love (Fawad) and finds herself in love again with another (Ranbir Kapoor).

    As a source reveals, “Karan’s film releases on Diwali, but because of the anti-Pakistani wave that is sweeping through India right now, he is facing a dual dilemma — it is too late to replace Fawad, but his female leads play Pakistani women. So what he is planning to do is tweak the script a bit and work it in such a way that they are no longer Pakistani citizens, but belong to another country.”
