Owaisi Bros Banned 'Jai Ho' Film In Hyd For 'Anti-Salman'

By Iram Khan | Hyderabad

Actor Salman Khan, who recently met Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi during the kite flying festival in Ahmadabad, has been criticised by Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi. 

Unhappy with Salman meeting Modi where he referred to Modi as a good man, Owaisi has now urged his supporters to not watch his film 'Jai Ho'. The Film is banned by Majlis Party in Hyderabad cinemas, where no muslim is allowed to watch the film. Heavy uproar is witnessed on this issue, many film goers critisizing Owaisi brothers for their biased views and restrictions. 
Reacting to this, Salman said that he did nothing wrong by going to Gujarat. "What can I say to that, if as a Muslim I have gone there to see that my Muslims brothers are doing well, I don't think there is anything wrong. I am half Hindu and half Muslim. So, I have closeness to both the communities. My mother is Hindu, my father is Muslim and there is nothing else, I would want to have them together," Salman said.

"If that is a crime or to promote my film by flying Jai Ho kites and to spread a positive message is a crime, then I think those followers should think twice and listen to him and not go and see such a positive film with so much of goodness in it," Salman added.

Let us wait and watch the film screening situation at Hyderabad theatres.
