Just as the Shah Rukh Khan [ Images ] versus Shiv Sena controversy seemed to be dying down, now another fracas has erupted!

Eleven workers of Raj Thackeray's [ Images ] Maharashtra [ Images ] Navnirman Sena have been arrested for allegedly extorting money from Bollywood producer Ritesh Sidhwani for not hiring locals for a film shoot.

The film in question, Crooked, starring Abhishek Bachchan [ Images ], reportedly needed foreigners to do some patch-up work, but the MNS workers allegedly demanded a 'fine' from Sidhwani, saying that locals should have been used.

All these two controversies came just a few months after Karan Johar's [ Images ] apologies over the colloquial usage of 'Bombay' over 'Mumbai' in his film Wake up Sid [ Images ].

Which begs the question: Don't filmmakers have the right to do what's best for their films? Should political parties interfere in the process? Should Bollywood be left alone?
