Bollywood
actor
Shahrukh
Khan's
film
My
Name
is
Khan
is
akin
to
controversy.
First,
it
was
the
Shiv
Sena,
who
threatened
to
ban
the
film,
then
joined
the
Vishwa
Hindu
Parishad
(VHP)
and
now
Orissa
unit
of
the
Bajrang
Dal.
The
latest
news
is
that
Orissa
unit
of
the
Bajrang
Dal
has
threatened
to
disrupt
the
screening
of
My
Name
is
Khan
in
the
state
if
Shahrukh
fails
to
offer
apology
for
supporting
the
inclusion
of
the
Pakistani
cricketers
in
the
IPL.
Subash
Chouhan,
national
co-convenor
of
the
Bajrang
Dal,
said
that
they
would
not
allow
the
screening
of
My
Name
is
Khan
in
the
state
unless
Shahrukh
apologise
for
his
comments.
He
added
that
the
actor
acted
like
an
agent
to
Pakistan
by
raising
his
voice
for
the
cause
of
its
cricketers.
Meanwhile,
the
Shiv
Sena
activists
attacked
some
theatres
in
Mumbai
yesterday
for
opening
advance
booking
in
spite
of
the
promise
by
its
chief
Bal
Thackeray
that
it
would
allow
the
screening
of
the
film.
The
incident
took
place
right
on
the
face
of
the
Mumbai
police,
who
had
earlier
promised
full
protection
to
the
theatres
screening
the
film.
My
Name
is
Khan,
which
brings
the
incredible
screen
pair
Shahrukh
and
Kajol
together
after
eight
long
years,
is
scheduled
for
release
this
Friday
(February
12).
It
is
produced
by
Karan
Johar.
