SRK's 'My Name is Khan' needs Thackeray's approval?


Film distributor Shringar Films has reportedly written to Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, saying it will not release My Name Is Khan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, unless he clears it. But B G Shroff, director of Shringar, declined to comment. Officially, the release date remains February 12. Police chief D Sivanandhan has assured theatres screening the film that they would get police cover

Even as police commissioner D Sivanandhan assured the city that “no attacks on theatres screening actor Shah Rukh Khan’s yet-to-bereleased film My Name is Khan will be tolerated,” exhibitors and distributors Shringar Films Ltd are believed to have written a letter to Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray stating that they will not be releasing the movie unless it is cleared by him.

However, when contacted, company director B Shroff refused to comment. Officially the release date of the film (Feb 12) remains unchanged.

On Monday, CM Ashok Chavan and home minister R R Patil discussed the issue with the police.
