No release for My Name Is Khan in Mumbai, Mangalore

Here is the latest on the SRK – Shiv Sena war and the unfortunate scapegoat My Name Is Khan.

My Name Is Khan will not release in most multiplexes in Maharastra tomorrow, some multiplexes in Karnataka too have backed out fearing a Shiv Sena – Bajrang Dal backlash.

When we spoke to one of our sources in Big Cinemas, sounding worried he said “The threat is strong, the film will not release here tomorrow, all shows have been canceled for Friday.”

When asked if the film could release on Saturday “We’ll need to discuss the situation. Nothing confirmed at the moment.”

Fun Cinemas and Gaiety Galaxy too have canceled all shows for Friday.

The situation is very unfortunate and the biggest losers are the audience, especially SRK fans who have been waiting patiently for over 15 months for a Shahrukh Khan film.

From the film’s business point of view, the first weekend is very important for every biggie these days. Last year, Shahid Kapoor’s Kaminey easily lost 8 – 10 crores as plexes in Mumbai and Pune remained shut due to Swine Flu. For a film like My Name Is Khan, the losses could be much bigger.

  • Shahrukh Khan’s much touted film MY NAME IS KHAN’s fate is out. Now the film will have a limited release in the city.

    As per the latest buzz, the Multiplexes owners in Mumbai have come up with the decision of releasing MY NAME IS KHAN in some multiplexes in Mumbai and parts of Maharashtra at 12 PM today. And for the same Maharashtra government has decided to provide high security to these multiplexes.

    The decision to release the movie was taken at a meeting of the Multiplex Association held in the morning around 9.30 am, when the late night meeting with the filmmakers had not been enough to convince them to release the film.

    On the other hand most of the single screens have decided not to release the film.

    However more multiplexes and theatres will follow the suit of releasing the film, if the ongoing uproar comes to a rest.
