Karan Johar made this change and it got mess!
Well, Karan Johar‘s ADHM really doing well in cinemas and seems like they are winning audience heart and well, everyone is very much even getting more excite to see the movie and the movie has clashed with Shivaay and even it is doing well at the Box Office.
There were a few pre-release murmurs doing the rounds that some of the main actors in Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil were playing Pakistani characters (from Lahore) and that following the anti-Pakistan sentiments that gained ground as a result of the Uri attacks, the makers had changed Lahore to Lucknow to play it safe.
While the earlier reports were speculative because there was no official confirmation of this from the producers of ADHM, post the release of the film it does seem that Anushka Sharma, Fawad Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan were originally conceived as Pakistani characters, which had to be unceremoniously changed on the edit table.
