In a jolt to Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan, all theaters and multiplexes in  Gujarat have decided not to screen Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘My name is Khan at the behest of the Bajrang Dal and VHP.

All theaters and multiplexes in Gujarat have decided not to book any ticket of Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘My name is Khan’ in advance.

According to reports coming out, Shri Ashiwn Patel, Ahmedabad based leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Gujarat, when contacted by the media, pointed out that Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad have stopped screening of films even in past successfully. “Even this time, the film: My name is Khan would not be allowed to be screened in Gujarat.”

Umesh Engineer, leader of Shiv Sena in Gujarat, on Thursday thanked Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal to join the agitation against Shahrukh Khan’s pro-Pakistan stand and his film. Umesh said the Shiv Sainiks would obey Shri Bala Saheb Thakrey’s order and would stop screening of My name is Khan with whatever strength they have in Gujarat.

Shah Rukh Khan is upset that Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray and his son Udhav Thackeray “misconstrued” his comments and are protesting against the release of his film My Name Is Khan.

“(I) feel awful that Balasahib and Udhav have misconstrued my words. The reactions of the Sena workers seem to make me believe that. Don’t want mayhem, anger and violence cos of our beautiful film…which talks about repairing a bruised and divided world,” Shah Rukh posted on  Twitter.

The actor, who is currently in Berlin, tweeted extensively about his stand on the whole issue.

‘This is the last time I clarify or say anything on this topic. This is not a justification, its just reiterating the facts,’ the actor tweeted. ‘Anyone asks me about this issue anymore… they can read my tweets. Now wot happens with the release the film, is the films fate.’

The protests by Shiv Sena activists and subsequent damage to cinema halls in Mumbai releasing his new film My Name is Khan have saddened the actor, who said that all he wanted was just to ‘enjoy my film everywhere.’

Shah Rukh Khan, who had advocated the inclusion of Pakistani players in Indian Premier League (IPL) matches and invited the ire of Shiv Sena in Mumbai, seems to be getting in deeper trouble with the posters of his upcoming flick ‘My Name Is Khan’(opposite Kajol and directed by Karan Johar) being torn in Nagpur.
The Shiv Sena on Sunday held a demonstration outside his home, even as the actor and his colleague Aamir Khan were dubbed by the party as “2 Idiots.”

The protests came after suspected Shiv Sena activists went on the rampage on Friday tearing down posters of Mr. Khan in Thane district over his remarks that Pakistani cricketers should not have been ignored for the third edition of the IPL tournament.

“In real life, Aamir and Shah Rukh have been proved as ‘2 Idiots,’ as both are making stupid statements supporting the cause of Pakistani cricketers,” said a statement in the Sena’s Hindi mouthpiece Dopahar Ka Saamna.
