Ae Dil Hai Mushkil set for a trouble-free release during Diwali weekend
Thackeray met with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the film's producers at the CM's residence before taking his decision.
Mukesh Bhatt, president of Film & Television Producers Guild of India, also attended the meeting, media reported.
Bhatt and others had met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday about the release of the film.
The Indian Express quoted Raj Thackeray as saying, "“We have always protested against Pakistani artistes but Bollywood never understood earlier. Now they have realised. Terrorist attacks have always been happening. I told Mukesh Bhatt. Pakistan bans our films and channels as per whims and fancies. So why are we rolling the red carpet for Pakistani actors."
Bhatt confirmed after the meeting on Saturday that a slate of tribute for Uri martyrs before the screening of the film begins, according to media reports.
