King Khan's fans in Mumbai vowed Saturday to watch his much-awaited flick "My Name is Khan", saying.
The actor had not make any fault by commenting against the exclusion of Pakistani cricketers from the upcoming season of IPL.
Mr. Shaukat Ali, 36, a bag vendor in Bandra, said, "We were always with him. No one should have pointed a finger.
At Shah Rukh Khan who has given so much to Mumbai and is a big Bollywood star. I have seen his movies since childhood and I am planning to go to watch this one as well.
All I want to say is that he didn't do anything wrong." The Shiv Sena had opposed the release of SRK's film after he denied apologizing for his remarks.Regardless of Sena protesters threatening several movie halls in Mumbai that were to release "MNIK", Shahrukh's buffs jammed theaters where the movie released on Friday.
But there were some regions where the film wasn't released, leaving his fans frustrated.
Apar Mathur, 23, a medical intern, stated, "On Friday, there was adequate security in the Navi Mumbai theatres and the crowd was there to watch the movie, yet it was not screened. Hope to watch it this weekend."
"I am not sure whether it is being screened yet but I am very keen to watch it," he added.
Ketaki Mishra, a resident, commented that the set-up of IPL matches was such that cricketers from all nations were permitted to take part in it and what SRK said about the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers made sense.
"Frankly speaking, what Shah Rukh Khan had said didn't call for such ruckus and controversies. It was a generic statement and the issue has been blown out of proportion. He didn't say anything wrong or make any mistake. Why such a big fuss?" she asked.
