Karan Johar apologises after MNS men disrupt film screening

Mumbai, Oct 2 (PTI) Noted film maker Karan Johar Friday
tendered an apology to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief
Raj Thackeray after MNS activists stopped screening of his new
film 'Wake Up Sid' in some cinema halls here, objecting use of
word 'Bombay' instead of 'Mumbai' in the film.

"It was a genuine mistake on our part...henceforth, we
will use Mumbai instead of Bombay. We have apologised for the
same," Karan told reporters after meeting the MNS chief at the
latter's residence in central Mumbai.

Asked if this was a publicity stunt, Karan said "there
are several other marketing platforms for publicity of the
film. This was not a publicity stunt."

"We will put a disclaimer in the film," he said. PTI
