My Name is Khan War still going on

The Shahrukh-Sena issue has taken a new twist with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray joining the fight by targeting the Shiv Sena for being harsh to Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan while sparing his counterparts.

Raj Thackeray, the estranged nephew of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, said that Amitabh Bachchan too has to apologise if Shahrukh is to do so for supporting the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in IPL3 because Amitabh shared the same dais with Pakistani artistes and recited poems recently.

The MNS chief questioned why only Shahrukh's film is being targeted and criticised the 'double standard' policy of the party. He has made it clear that his party would not disrupt the screening of My Name is Khan.

The Shiv Sena has called for the ban of My Name is Khan in Mumbai following Shahrukh's refusal to apologise for stating that Pakistani cricketers should be allowed to play in IPL. Over thousand Shiv Sena activists have been arrested in the last couple of days for violent protest against the film.

Heathrow BAA Deny Shahrukh Khan Nude Scan Autograph

Indian superstar Shahrukh Khans claims that he signed print outs of 'nude' security scans of his body at Heathrow have been dismissed by the airport owner, BAA.

According to Londons Telegraph, the airport has labelled Shahrukhs claims “completely factually incorrect”, reports The Age. BAA said the claims "simply could not be true", insisting the scanners had no facility for printing images or storing them.

While on Jonathan Ross BBC talk show, the Indian actor had expressed his concerns over full-body scanners, saying they breach a persons privacy. “I came out [of the scanner] and then I saw these girls and they had these printouts," Khan said. He added: "So I looked at them, I thought maybe its a form your supposed to [sign]... and you could see everything inside. "And then Ive autographed them for them." The scanners are currently in use at Heathrow and Manchester airports.

Amitabh Bachchan Calls for Truce on My Name Is Khan Premier

Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan called for truce and peace vis-a-vis the violent protests staged against screening of Shahrukh Khan's movie 'My Name Is Khan', reportedly instigated by activists of Shiv Sena. He said this at a function to mark the launching of 'Bachchan Bol', an initiative to connect him with his fans via mobile and landline phones across the globe at Mumbai on Tuesday.

Buzz up!Bachchan said that the topic has been stretched too far and its time for peace and harmony. "I think this topic has been stretched too far, I think its time to talk about peace, and to talk about harmony. Rather than keep hinting on something, which is not going to get you or me anywhere. So please let's talk about peace and harmony and I hope that it exists. Everything is working out fine," he added.

Shiv Sena activists have been targeting the theatres and warning theatres operators to stop the screening of the movie My Name is Khan. Earlier, they had vandalised a cinema hall and broke the glass showcases heralding the movie.

It may be recalled that Khan, who is also the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, one of the teams competing in the ensuing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), had said that the participant teams should have considered inclusion of players from Pakistan. The comment has invited the wrath of the Shiv Sena, who have threatened to halt the screening of the film in Mumbai.

Shahrukh Khans Film Premier Ended Up In Disaster

Breaking it's own promise Shiv Sena activists vandalised many theatres in different parts of Mumbai for screening Shahrukh Khan's My Name Is Khan. There was a general impression that the Shiv Sena would allow a problem-free screening of the movie after party supremo Bal Thackeray stated that Sena activists would not disrupt the screening. On Sunday, Thackeray had written in the party mouthpiece Saamna "Traitors, with the blessings of the Congress party, go ahead. Shiv Sena will not block you. Why our Shiv Sainiks should be beaten up and arrested?".

Interestingly the attacks on the theatres came barely an hour after Mumbai Police Commissioner D Shivanandan assured film director Karan Johar of giving full security cover to the cinemas and multiplexes in city. 12 Sena activists were taken into custody from different parts of the city. The Sena activists had broken down window panes after the advance booking for the much awaited movie started which has already got good reviews.

Shiv Sena had threatened the movie after it's leading star Shahrukh Khan had voiced his support for the Pakistani players in the IPL. Shiv Sena had asked Shahrukh to apologise for this but the actor has refused to bow down on the issue. The film fraternity has been divided on the issue with few stars coming in support of King Khan. Shahrukh will however take solace from the fact that Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have supported him on the issue.

Shahrukh Khan sticks to his Guns!

SRK reached Mumbai today amidst tight security and Shiv Sena was expecting an apology from SRK, and he apologized, but to Karan and Kajol.

SRK said, I am really sorry. would like to apologise to Kajol, Karan Johar and our business partners. The film is going to be affected because of what I said. ‘My Name Is Khan,’ is not my film alone. It has Kajol, Karan ( Johar) and 150 other people whose livelihood depends upon it.”

He further added, “I have done nothing wrong in saying what I did about the Pakistani players, and I said that as an Indian.If Bal Thackeray will call me, I will meet him anytime. I enjoy his company.”

Meanwhile SRK who is a son of a freedom frighter, was branded as traitor by Shiv Sena.

Party chief Bal Thackerey said, “Shahrukh is a traitor and he has insulted sentiments of Indians by favouring Pakistan players.”

However Shiv Sena has decided not disrupt MNIK screening, they said, “How do we awaken this Congress party? This is how you rule. So go ahead. Let Shah Rukh Khan show his film My Name Is Khan without security. Traitors with the blessings of the Congress go ahead, the Shiv Sena will not block you.”

Salman Khan Backs Shahrukh Khan

He was once upon a time very good friend of Shahrukh Khan and now his foe, Salman Khan has made comments regarding the controversy between SRK and Shiv Sena.

SRK who was targetted by Shiv Sena for supporting Pakistani cricketers to take part in IPL, the Shiv Sena has asked SRK to apologize for his remarks or else they will disrupt the screening of his flick My Name is Khan.

However good old friend Salman Khan has stood up for SRK and feels that he doesn’t need to apologize to Shiv Sena, Salman said, “Shah Rukh doesn`t owe an apology to Shiv Sena”.

Salman further adds, “What should he apologize for? ‘My Name is Khan’ should be released for sure. It has to. As an industry we pay huge entertainment tax to the government and we entertain the people also. We don’t think like politicians.I anyway don’t understand this whole thing of taking a morcha and going to somebody’s house,”

“I think what Shah Rukh said was that the Pakistani players should have been included in the IPL. If I’m not mistaken even our Home Minister P Chidambaram said the same thing. Sports and politics are two different things. In cricket, the only thing you hit is a ball. A sporting field is all about sportsmanship, sports is such a wonderful leveler that both winners and losers shake hands in the beginning as well as at the end of the match.”

Every stars of Bollywood are backing King Khan up and i bet Shiv Sena is regretting the threat he gave to SRK!

Preity Zinta: “Guys, just for the record, Shah Rukh is the most secular and the most fair guy I know! It’s unfair to judge his movie based on his opinions!”

Farhan Akhtar: Nothing and nobody has the right to disrupt the release of MNIK. With Karan, Srk all the way.The best way that you can show support for MNIK and cock a snoot at the madness is go watch it fearlessly.

Shahrukh Khan and Kajol at NASDAQ

The duo are in New York to promote their latest film My Name is Khan and were invited to by Fox Searchlight Pictures, who are distributing the film in the US, to open trading at the world’s biggest stock exchange.

Before the event, Shah Rukh said on his tweeter account: “Nasdaq will be fun. Have to make sure I reach on time, otherwise will end up being blamed for economic upheaval across the world too..ha ha.”

Shortly after ringing the NASDAQ bell, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol spoke with New Yorkers about their new film.

Responding to a question, Shahrukh Khan clarified that the film is unrelated to last year’s incident at the Newark Airport in the US where he was stopped by immigration officers because his name showed up in one of the check-lists.

“The film has nothing to do with it. It is a love story…and what people can do to achieve their love,” Khan said and noted that film explores the impact of 9/11 on people completely unrelated to the last year’s incident.

Shahrukh Khan also underlined that he had “no issues” with the Newark incident. “I have been stopped often enough,” he said, referring to his fans. “But some of the interviews are little interrogative,” the actor said.

“Its not big deal…if I’m going to a country then I have to respect the rules of that country,” he said, stressing that the incident was not a publicity stunt to
promote his movie.

On working with Johar, Khan said: “The greatness of Karan is as a writer.”

Kajol said while the duo had no idea of what was happening in the market front, it was still a lot of fun. “We had a great moment,” Khan said.

Their latest movie centres around a Muslim man, who faces difficulties in social interaction, and falls unconditionally for the beautiful Mandira, a Hindu single mother living out her version of the global dream of success.
