Cinema houses including multiplexes here released Shah Rukh-starrer 'My Name is Khan' (MNIK) today after its successful screening in Mumbai.
The decision to go ahead with screening of 'MNIK' was taken at a meeting of theatre owners who had refrained from releasing the movie in the city yesterday.
A heavy 'police bandobast' was in placed at various cinema halls that decided to show the Karan Johar film.
A steady stream of cine-goers was seen at the theatres after bookings of the film opened for the afternoon show.
Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe has appealed to cinema owners and citizens not to pay any heed to the threats issued by Shiv Sena against screening of the film.
