ÂFanaa no more in Gujarat
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,June 12 2006]
Yash Raj Films have requested the management of Amber theatre in Jaamnagar to pull off ÂFanaa after a young man Pravin Joshi made a self immolation bid in the theatreÂs toilet yesterday. Apparently he had been protesting against Aamir KhanÂs views on the Narmada issue, though it defies reason as to why he made the attempt after watching the film. Ambar was the only theatre showing ÂFanaa in Gujarat and after the request by Yashraj Films, theatre owner Vimal Madam, decided to pull out the film which had been running to houseful shows.
In another related incident, four people were arrested for Âillegally showing ÂFanaa in a club in Rajkot. It has been reported that hundreds of people had been congregating to watch the film and it was due to the huge numbers that police got the hint. Kunal KohliÂs blockbuster seems to be arousing extreme reactions from people in Gujarat. ThereÂs no dearth of people who wish to see the film while there are still others who can go to any length to oppose it.
