Adequate security will be provided across various theatres in the city to ensure the peaceful release of Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'My Name is Khan', the police said today.
"Adequate security personnel will be deployed at theatres where the film will be screened in the city. We have assured full protection to the distributors, exhibitors and to film maker Karan Johar," Joint Commissioner of Police Himanshu Roy said.
Fearing a backlash by Shiv Sena workers, film director Karan Johar, distributors and exhibitors today met Police Commissioner D Sivanandan seeking personal assurance. "Their concern was that there are some political parties suggesting that the film be banned or not be released.
They told us that they have received some calls (threatening) in this regard," Roy said. "Security to some people might be provided," he said refusing to divulge the names of those who would be given special protection.
If required viewers may be asked to produce their identity cards before entering the theatres, Roy said adding that a final call in this regard will be taken later. |
