Amitabh Bachchan appeals for peace over SRK's movie 'My Name Is Khan' | Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan called for truce and peace vis-à-vis the violent protests staged against screening of Shahrukh Khan's movie 'My Name Is Khan', reportedly instigated by activists of Shiv Sena. He said this at a function
to mark the launching of 'Bachchan Bol', an initiative to connect him with his
fans via mobile and landline phones across the globe at Mumbai on Tuesday. Bachchan
said that the topic has been stretched too far and its time for peace and harmony.
"I think this topic has been stretched too far, I think its time to talk about
peace, and to talk about harmony. Rather than keep hinting on something, which
is not going to get you or me anywhere. So please let's talk about peace and harmony
and I hope that it exists. Everything is working out fine," he added. Shiv Sena
activists have been targeting the theatres and warning theatres operators to stop
the screening of the movie 'My Name is Khan'. Earlier, they had vandalised a cinema
hall and broke the glass showcases heralding the movie. It may be recalled that
Khan, who is also the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, one of the teams competing
in the ensuing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), had said that the participant
teams should have considered inclusion of players from Pakistan. The comment has
invited the wrath of the Shiv Sena, who have threatened to halt the screening
of the film in Mumbai.
