Distributors of 'My Name Is Khan' met Mumbai joint commissioner of police (law & order) Himanshu Roy on Thursday to seek police protection for multiplexes where the film will be screened.
''Foxstar Studio officials along with BJP youth leader Shaina NC met Roy to seek police protection for cinema halls in other cities of Maharashtra. They had met police commissioner D Sivanandhan on Wednesday,'' a member of the delegation said.
Shaina said, ''There are so many issues for political parties to focus on like water shortage, spiralling prices. Why make such a hue and cry over a film?'' Sivanandhan has already said police protection will be given to all cinema halls. Cops are likely to make preventive arrests.
Actors Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra lent their voice to Shah Rukh Khan's cause. ''There is nothing wrong in what he has said,'' Basu said. Chopra Twitted from the US: ''At times like this, it is strange to be away from home but I fully support the My Name Is Khan team.''

NEW DELHI: In an indication of taking yet another step to differentiate its position from that of its long-standing ally Shiv Sena, BJP on Thursday said it did not agree with the Sena's anti-Shah Rukh Khan stand. On the contrary, the party came out in support of the Bollywood star by saying that Khan had done the country proud by virtue of being an accomplished actor.
"We do not agree with Shiv Sena's description of him (Shah Rukh Khan) as an enemy of India. He has done the country proud as an accomplished actor," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said. The statement came on its own and not in reply to any question from the media.
Also, coming to the defence of SRK, Congress said it would see how Shiv Sena stalled the screening of his film in Maharashtra. "We will see to it how the goons of Bal Thackeray prevent theatres in Maharashtra from screening Shahrukh Khan's film," AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh said.
