The
Shiv
Sena
has
sent
a
strong
wave
to
Shahrukh
Khan
for
backing
the
Pakistani
cricketers
at
the
Indian
Premiere
League
(IPL)
and
has
threatened
to
ban
his
films
in
Mumbai
if
he
doesn"t
offer
an
apology
but
the
party
has
reacted
softly
on
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
supported
Shahrukh
on
his
stand.
In
fact,
the
Shiv
Sena
has
taken
a
step
closer
to
Amitabh.
Surprisingly,
the
Shiv
Sena
chief
Bal
Thackeray
has
asked
Amitabh
to
arrange
for
a
screening
of
his
latest
film
Rann
by
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
which
takes
a
dig
at
the
media
world.
"Udhav
Thakeray
(Shiv
Sena
executive
president)
calls.
He
has
just
come
out
of
the
theatre
after
(watching)
'Rann'
and
is
not
able
to
find
appropriate
words
to
describe
his
appreciation
for
the
film
and
the
performance.
Minutes
later
Bala
Saheb
calls
(and
says)
'I
want
to
see
this
film.
Come
and
show
it
to
me!
You
have
not
been
to
see
me
for
a
long
time'," Amitabh
posted
on
his
blog.
"I
assure
him
I
shall
arrange
a
projection
in
his
house.
I
ask
after
his
health.
He
is
fine
he
says," the
67-year-old
actor
added.
Amitabh
plays
a
media
baron
in
Rann.
"He
cannot
travel
out
due
to
his
frail
condition,
but
the
fire
in
him
still
burns.
He
is
resolute
and
firm
as
ever
and
in
that
resoluteness
you
discover
an
endearing,
that
sudden
soft
moment,
which
has
always
made
his
presence
so
strong
and
affectionate.
His
sense
of
humor
is
intact
as
he
punches
in
some
wise
ones," wrote
Amitabh.
Rann
is
Amitabh"s
latest
offering
after
his
stupendous
performance
in
Paa.
His
next
film
Teen
Patti
is
scheduled
for
release
on
February
26.
