That's
exactly
the
message
Shahrukh
Khan's
fans
seems
to
have
given
to
Bal
Thackeray
and
his
son
Uddhav
Thackeray.
This
after
their
Shiv
Sena
had
called
for
a
public
boycott
of
the
movie
protesting
Shahrukh's
support
for
the
Pakistani
players
in
the
IPL.
Bal
Thackeray
and
his
son
went
to
the
extent
of
calling
Shahrukh
Khan
a
traitor
asking
him
to
settle
down
in
Pakistan.
They
vandalised
theatres
and
tore
down
the
posters
of
the
movie.
Shiv
Sena
which
had
taken
the
law
into
it's
own
hands
got
a
taste
of
people's
sentiments
the
day
My
Name
Is
Khan
released.
People
thronged
the
movie
theatres
in
Mumbai
in
tons
and
gave
a
thumbs
up
to
the
movie.
The
administration
on
it's
part
made
elaborate
security
arrangements
to
counter
Sena's
bluff.
Although
Bal
Thackeray
and
Uddhav
Thackeray
congratulated
party
workers
on
the
agitation
but
they
turned
out
to
be
'paper
tigers'
in
the
end.
