Mumbai
(ANI):
Bollywood
actor
Amitabh
Bachchan
called
for
truce
and
peace
vis-a-vis
the
violent
protests
staged
against
screening
of
Shahrukh
Khan's
movie
'My
Name
Is
Khan',
reportedly
instigated
by
activists
of
Shiv
Sena.
He
said
this
at
a
function
to
mark
the
launching
of
'Bachchan
Bol',
an
initiative
to
connect
him
with
his
fans
via
mobile
and
landline
phones
across
the
globe
at
Mumbai
on
Tuesday.
Bachchan
said
that
the
topic
has
been
stretched
too
far
and
its
time
for
peace
and
harmony.
"I
think
this
topic
has
been
stretched
too
far,
I
think
its
time
to
talk
about
peace,
and
to
talk
about
harmony.
Rather
than
keep
hinting
on
something,
which
is
not
going
to
get
you
or
me
anywhere.
So
please
let's
talk
about
peace
and
harmony
and
I
hope
that
it
exists.
Everything
is
working
out
fine," he
added.
Shiv
Sena
activists
have
been
targeting
the
theatres
and
warning
theatres
operators
to
stop
the
screening
of
the
movie
My
Name
is
Khan.
Earlier,
they
had
vandalised
a
cinema
hall
and
broke
the
glass
showcases
heralding
the
movie.
It
may
be
recalled
that
Khan,
who
is
also
the
owner
of
Kolkata
Knight
Riders,
one
of
the
teams
competing
in
the
ensuing
edition
of
the
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL),
had
said
that
the
participant
teams
should
have
considered
inclusion
of
players
from
Pakistan.
The
comment
has
invited
the
wrath
of
the
Shiv
Sena,
who
have
threatened
to
halt
the
screening
of
the
film
in
Mumbai.
