Karan receives assurance from Mumbai cops over ‘My Name is Khan’

Mumbai: Very much perturbed over brawl of Shiv Sena and Shah Rukh Khan and threat from the organization forced Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar to step out at the Mumbai police commissioner office. Came out with an assurance that his movie "My Name Is Khan" will release in the financial capital without any disruption, he was looking quite.

"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.

Set in post 9/11 US, the film also stars Kajol.
