Shiv Sainiks seek apology from SRK

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, January 30, 2010 - 16:16 IST

While the movie My Name Is Khan is still a few days away from release, the SRK-Kajol starrer is already making news though not for all the right reasons.

Shah Rukh Khan, who is always vocal about his opinions on social and cultural issues, is being asked to apologise for things that he said out of his own will. He went on to say that Pakistani cricketers need to be part of the IPL 3, but such a comment from a world renowned celebrity was unacceptable to Shiv Sainiks. They expressed their discontent over the actor's comments saying Shah Rukh has insulted the 26/11 martyrs.

Taking a cue, the Shiv Sena workers went on a rampage and tore down posters of SRK's film My Name Is Khan in the suburbs of Mumbai today. A similar incident occurred at a multiplex in Thane yesterday. Sena has asked the multiplex managers to not screen My Name Is Khan or any SRK film, till further notice. While SRK is yet to make an apology, one thing is certain that the controversy surrounding this issue will take its own time to settle down.
