Ahmedabad, May 20: Bollywood actor-cum-activist Aamir Khan may disappoint his fans in Gujarat, thanks to some strong statements he has made against the government relating to Vadodara riots.
It is now unsure whether the actor's next film, Fanaa will be released in theatres across Gujarat as exhibitors are not willing to screen the movie.
In fact, film producer Yash Chopra is believed to have met chief minister Narendra Modi.
Says Ashok Purohit, partner, City Pulse Multiplexes, "Keeping public sentiment against Aamir Khan in mind, we have decided not to screen Fanaa. But I feel that Yash Chopra is being victimised in this whole process. So if people realise this fact, then we might be able to show the film."
Aamir Khan's Rang De Basanti was also taken off the screens when he spoke in favour of the Narmada Bachao Andolan.
Says Yamal Vyas, spokesperson, BJP, Gujarat, "We will certainly oppose screening of the movie in Gujarat and will continue to oppose it until he apologises. Aamir Khan must realise that innocent people are killed in Kashmir everyday too."
The hardcore Aamir fans, meanwhile, are just hoping the matter is sorted out and they get to see the star first day first show.
