Mumbai: After Pulwama terror attack, the Indian entertainment industry has decided to not include any of the Pakistani artists in the upcoming Bollywood Films and in the Television World.

In a bid to completely boycott Pakistan, the makers of many upcoming films have also decided to not release their films in the neighbouring nation.

To begin with, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has asked the music composers of ‘Note Book’ and ‘Bharat' to re-record the songs that were originally sung by Pakistani singers Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

Salman, however, has skipped to speak on the issue but sources close to the star said that talks are on to hunt for other options to record the songs.

During the press conference on Monday, the 'Total Dhamaal' star Ajay Devgan asked the producers of the film not to release it in Pakistan in the wake of brutal terrorist attack in Pulwama. He said, “The team felt the same. What we can do from our side, we did the same. In such circumstances, we can not release the film in Pakistan. At the same time, the makers of ‘Sonchiraiya’ have said that they will not release their film in Pakistan.”
