Mumbai cops assure Karan Johar of security for MNIK

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is relieved after
the Mumbai police commissioner gave him an assurance Tuesday that his
movie ‘My Name Is Khan’ will release in the financial capital without
any disruption.
‘We are very happy with the assurance from Mumbai
cops. They have given us personal assurance that everything will be
okay and security will be provided in every theatre. There is nothing
to worry about. I am very assured about it,’ Johar, whose directorial
venture is releasing Friday, told reporters here.
‘Right now the movie will release on schedule and advance booking has opened,’ he added.
Along with Johar, multiplex association owners and distributors also met the commissioner.
‘My Name Is Khan’ has been under the Shiv Sena scanner ever since its
lead actor, superstar Shah Rukh Khan, made comments in favour of the
inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Shiv Sena activists had earlier threatened to ban the film in Mumbai, but matters have calmed down.
