Maharashtra Navanirman Sena (MNS) leader Sandeep Deshpande appeared on a Facebook live with The Quint and took questions form the audience, besides threatening the distributors of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil as it stars a Pakistani actor, Fawad Khan. He also threatened to break the theatres which agree to screen ADHM.

Here are the key take-aways:
- MNS will stage 'MNS style' protests against theatres screening ADHM.
- We know we are breaking laws, but we are doing it for a cause. We are ready to face consequences.
- MNS will oppose screening of any film with Pakistani actors in the future.
- We are opposing ADHM because Pakistani actors should feel 'pinch' of what India is going through due to Pakistan.
- Karan Johar's apology was late and he's already earned a lot of money.
- India should cut all trade ties with Pakistan.
