Due to the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan after India's surgical strikes on Pakistani run Terrorist Training Camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, Bollywood makers have decided to drop Pakistani actor Ali Zafar from the trailer.

Ali Zafar was to play a pivotal role in this Shah Rukh-Alia starrer 'Dear Zindagi', but it seems highly unlikely to happen now.

Since Ali has already shot for the movie, chopping off his role completely is tough for the filmmakers. As of now he has not been made a part of the trailer and the fate of his role will be decided after the release of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Dharma Productions is looking for a young talent who can compose songs as an alternative to Ali Zafar's two songs in the film.

Besides SRK and Alia, Kunal Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor are also part of this movie. Dear Zindagi is directed by Gauri Shinde and is scheduled to release on November 25, 2016.
