"It's sad that while the team of MNIK is attending a lavish premiere in Abu Dhabi, theatre owners in Mumbai are facing the party's ire," he said.

"Shouldn't Shah Rukh Khan have been in Mumbai in this time of crisis? I'd rather show the Hindi dubbed version of the Hollywood film, The Wolfman, than screen MNIK."

as situations has become more dramatic, i m actually trying to figure out now who is actually on fault?

No one is Saint in this Issue, No SRK, No SS

in all this hulla gulla all parties involved , SRK, SS and Congress....it is Everyone's Gain ( well is it SRK's gain will be confirmed on Friday if SS didnt oppose the release)

i agree with the above part now if this issue is so serious, even the release of the movie is questionable in one big city then why SRK is bz promoting this movie instead of being in Mumbai with the ppl related to MNIK

So advance booking opens, then closes, then opens, then closes. These people are really insane.

We won't allow screening of My Name Is Khan in J&K: Shiv Sena

So SS threatened Srk's movie and calling him a traitor and what should Srk do? Prove himself that he's a true indian? take his comments back and bow down to SS? I am glad no promotion event has cancelled or else i would be disappointed. This isn't just about Srk movie, there are fans of Srk who is waiting for him and Kajol. HOw would i feel if Srk would had cancelled all his event in NY, London, Dubai and now at Berlin. No one must stop their live for their enemies and ESPEICALLy people like Shiv Sena and his Coward Servants.

They can attack Srk but why not Amitabh?? Why are you letting him go with his Aman ki Asha? Why Atif Aslam still getting work in Indian movies?? Why people listening to his songs? Go attack to the people who buy atif's song or make it to top charts. Why only Srk?

Good, arrest them all! 👏

Chief Minister Ashok Chavan is in the hot seat, as the state holds its breath over the release of Shah Rukh Khan's My Name is Khan. At stake: the credibility of the government which has made claims to have complete control over the law and order situation.


It has indeed become a prestige issue for the coalition government, which needs to prove all is indeed well between its coalition members and that it has the power to ensure a peaceful, conducive environment for citizens. Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, the Chief Minister said, "We are providing all kind of security to the theatres, despite that some incidents of vandalism have taken place.

Police is doing its job and as many as 1,000 agitators have been arrested and they have been produced in court and they have been remanded to police custody also. We will provide the required security for the release of the film. We will not let the situation go out of hand."

Chavan minced no words when it came to his political adversary the Shiv Sena, which has been on a rampage across the city, agitating against the SRK film. "Election to the state assembly were held four months ago and people voted for us, and asked Shiv Sena to sit in opposition. Despite that, they are holding people at ransom. This is not acceptable."

According to the CM, the Sena does not have the support of the masses. "Even people are not supporting their agitation. There are various forums to express your views in a peaceful manner. You can come and meet me, give me a representation, take out a morcha in a peaceful manner. But indulging in violent protests and creating nuisance is not a proper way."

Ensuring that the entire police force is geared towards protecting the film from the Sena agitation has put considerable staring on the State's resources, admitted Chavan.

"Already our police force is burdened with maintenance of law and order, keeping constant vigil to prevent any untoward incident and now they have been asked to provide bandobast around the film, putting extra strain on our resrouces. This is highly deplorable," he said.

However, he is also ready to offer an olive branch to the Sena. "Whatever has happened forget it. Come forward for a dialogue and discuss the issue with me so that people at large should not feel inconvenienced or threatened."

Chavan did not refute the theory that he is under some sort of pressure from the centre to handle the MNIK issue well. "The centre, especially the Home Ministry is monitoring the situating closely and the Home Minister has expressed his concern about the situation," he said, adding, "But I request all parties to resolve this amicably and not turn this into a prestige issue."

While the Sena reacted angrily to the withdrawal of security cover for some of their key legislators, Chavan defended the move. "Agitators pelting stones and damaging property in the presence of armed policemen does not present a good picture of the state. I cannot allow this."

Reacting to the media reports and the speculation in political circles about NCP's signals to the Shiv Sena post Sharad Pawar's meeting Bal Thackeray, Chavan said, "I am yet to be informed about the purpose and the details of the said meeting. But let me assure you, our idealogy is well defined about people and running the state, our government is under no threat."

Finally, the chief minister sent out a message to all citizens, "Not only MNIK, I want people to come forward and enjoy each and every film in a peaceful, environment. Every one is safe and secure in this state."

From the time Mani Ratnam held a special screening for Bal Thackeray to gain his consent before releasing Bombay in 1995, Bollywood has been living in terror of extra-judicial authority.

Instances of film-makers know-towing-such a clich but at the same time wonderfully evocative, at once conjuring a vivid image of the act— are numerous. Whether it is Ram Gopal Varma screening Sarkar, again for Mr Thackeray or Sushmita Sen, dressed in an aptly demure white salwar kameez, interceding on behalf of her co-star Salman Khan after Sainiks wanted to disrupt their film, Maine Pyar Kyu Kiya.

Encouraged by Mr Thackeray's success several Minimes have sprouted over time. Last year (2009) Karan Johar visited Raj Thackeray's home to apologise for the inadvertent use of the word Bombay in his film Wake Up Sid, never mind that half of the population still oscillates between Mumbai/Bombay (Bombay High Court, anyone?). Most recently even neta-lette Nitesh Rane demanded cuts in the Marathi film Zhenda because a goonda-like character in the film was said to resemble his father Narayan Rane.

If politicians behave thus can individual communities be far behind? So everyone from O…B to C now plays censor.
With big monies at stake -as they did with the underworld in the nineties – most filmmakers choose to compromise. After all what's in a sorry? Or a special screening? Ergo massaging yet another ego? No one understands that game better than a film producer who deals with super-stars at all times.

Which is why Shah Rukh Khan's polite refusal to pay an unsolicited visit to a certain home at Bandra (East) is such a startling and brave move. All it would take is a 15-minute visit for a cup of tea with Mr T to end his troubles over My Name Is Khan. "No apology has been demanded and so none needs to be given," he has said in his interviews. But when there is a Rs 80 crore film at stake, and in which he himself has invested heavily, it takes gumption to stick to that stand.

In the last 48 hours some theatres have been vandalized by Sainiks, and though chief minister Ashok Chavan has assured the film will release, some exhibitors, wary from past history, have refused to screen the film. Shah Rukh Khan, we learn is in Abu Dhabi and from where he and his producer are travelling to Berlin for the Film Festival. He will not be here for the release of his biggest film in two years.

We kinda like that.
