Bhubaneswar: The Orissa unit of the Bajrang Dal on Tuesday threatened to disrupt the screening of Shah Rukh Khan's movie 'My Name Is Khan' across the state if the actor does not apologise for his alleged 'pro-Pakistan' statement.
"We will not allow the screening of the film in the state," Subash Chouhan, national co-convenor of the Bajrang Dal, said.

The much-awaited film, which is slated for a global release on February 12, is already facing threat from the Shiv Sena in Mumbai. Sena activists on Tuesday attacked some theatres in the city where the film is to be screened.
