Finally the Director General of Police (DGP), Maharashtra, A N Roy has broken his silence on the Sena-SRK row. AN Roy on Thursday assured that the release of 'My Name Is Khan' won't be affected.
The Director General of Police has assured complete security to the screening of the movie at all theatres across the state.
Earlier on Thursday, BJP leader Shaina NC, along with representatives of Fox Star Studios, met Roy seeking protection for actor Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film 'My Name Is Khan' in the backdrop of Shiv Sena's threat to disrupt its screening.
Fox Star Studios is the distributor of the actor's movie 'My Name Is Khan', scheduled to be released on February 12.
"He (Roy) said full protection would be given to theatres and there would not be any disruption during the movie's screening at any theatre in the state," Fox Star Studios India CEO, Vijay Singh said.
BJP spokesperson Shaina NC, who accompanied the team, said director Karan Johan and Shah Rukh were her good friends and she came here in their support.
"If there are any issues, they can be sorted out through a dialogue. Violence cannot be a solution," she said.
Shiv Sena has came down heavily on Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, an IPL franchise, after he favoured inclusion of Pakistani cricketers for the tournament's third season.
Angered over his comments, Sena has threatened theatre owners to stall the movie's screening and demanded an apology from him.
