The Shiv Sena-Shah Rukh Khan controversy may have settled down, but the makers of My Name is Khan and the Mumbai police are not taking any chances. At a private screening at Famous studio in Mahalaxmi last night, Mumbai Police commissioner D Sivanandan, who had come to watch the show, said the police were still on guard.

The screening was organised by BJP spokesperson Shaina NC, her second one in as many days. Her screening at the same venue on Sunday night was also attended by VIPs like industrialist Kumarmangalam Birla and Rural Development Minister Jayant Patil.

The film's director and producer Karan Johar made an appearance at last night's screening, but did not watch the movie.

However, Johar hinted that even though the Sena seems to have simmered down, the makers of the movie did not want to take any risks. Said Johar, "I don't want to comment on the Sena issue. But our exhibit committee will be meeting the commissioner today."

The meeting is to be held to decide the security at places where there are chances of an attack. Said Sivanandan, "We will provide security to all the theatres, if needed."

Drama outside

At around 10.30 pm, the cops posted at the studio spotted Sena MLA Mohan Rawle and feared an attack. However, Rawle had come for an interview to a channel's office nearby. He said, "I've not come here to oppose the movie. I want to say that Shah Rukh should respect Bal Thackeray. He says, 'I share a good relationship with them.' If that is so, he should go meet Balasaheb."
