A few days after the 2016 Uri terror attack , Maharashtra Navnirman Sena ( MNS ) asked for ban on films featuring Pakistani actors on the basis that the actors were not openly condemning terrorism . '' Raees '' was on their list , because cast member Mahira Khan is Pakistani . MNS put forward a condition to lift up the ban , that producers shall never cast Pakistani artistes in future and they have to give ₹ 5 crore as penance to the Indian Army welfare fund , but Indian Army refused to accept it by saying sacrifices should not be politicised . Later , ban was lifted without the conditions on '' Raees '' as demanded by MNS
