“This applies to all films that have already been shot and are in the pipeline, including Shah Rukh’s Raees and four other films,” Bhatt revealed, adding that the Film Producers’ Guild had pledged that it would not work with or sign any Pakistani talent in the future. “The decision applies to new films and no producer will sign fresh films with Pakistani artistes but there will be no opposition to the ones that are already under production and complete,” Bhatt added.
