MJP had demanded ban following reports that Bhatt's son Rahul had an acquaintance with David Headley, the US national, arrested by FBI for allegedly plotting attacks in India at the LeT's behest.
According to the Multiplex Association of Gujarat, no formal instructions have been issued in this regard to its members but, most of them have decided not to screen the Imran Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan starrer film released last week.
Amit Bhavsar of the MJP said that the Apsara and Aradhna theatres in Kankaria area of the city tried to screen the film 'Tum Mile'.
MJP is lead by Gordhan Zadafia, ex-state home minister in the Narendra Modi government, during which term the 2002 riots took place. Zadafia along with some of the BJP rebels had later formed the MJP.
"We had to force the theatre owner to cancel screening of the film in Aradhna and Apsara theatre. All the multiplex in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Anand, Nadiad have adhered to our demand and cancelled the screening of the Mahesh Bhatt film," Bhavsar said.
According, to police, the MJP workers had done slogan shouting and broken a few windows of the theatre.
They said that there was no formal complaint lodged agaist the MJP workers.
In Rajkot, multiplex Comsmoplex, canceled screening of the film on Tuesday. City MJP workers had shouted slogans against Mahesh Bhatt and burst crackers inside the cinema hall and destroyed posters of the film forcing audience to leave the theatre.
In Surat, some 15 members of the MJP were detained by the police while they were protesting against screening of the Bhatt film in some cinema theaters. Later they were released.
The film is being screened in some places in the state capital Gandhinagar, sources said.
Jadafia had said that his party has asked for a state-wide ban of the film 'Tum Mile' because Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul had connection with terror suspect Headley.

WAIT A MINUTE! A FOREIGN NATIONAL WAS GIVEN A VISA BY INDIAN CONSULATE. UNTIL RECENTLY WE DID NOT EVEN KNOW OF HEADLY AND RANA. ALSO, WHEN A VISITOR IS INDIA, WE USUALLY ACCORD HIM ALL THE FACILITIES GIVEN TO A TOURIST OR A FOREIGNER. THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IF DISRUPTING A SHOW OF MAHESH BHATT? DID MAHESH BHATT CONTRIBUTE IN ANYWAY TO 26/11 TERRORIST ACTS? OUR POLITICAL PARTIES AND UPTO AN EXTENT MEDIA ARE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE PEOPLE AND ACT ASJUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONERS. WHILE MADHU KODA IS ENJOYING THE FREEDOM AND HOLDING RALLIES CLAIMING HIS INNOCENCE, NO ONE IS BOTHERED THAT HE CHEATED THE TAX PAYERS OUT OF BILLIONS. DOES IT MEAN THAT EVERYONE WHO CAME IN CONTACT WITH HEADLY AND RANA ARE TRAITORS AND SHOULD BE HANGED? IF SO, NO TOURIST WILL BE SAFE IN INDIA AND NO TOURIST WILL EVER WANT TO VISIT INDIA, COSTING INDIA MILLIONS IN TOURIST REVENUE!
Before Congress or SP gives Rahul Bhatt ticket to MP, at least someone is acting....Why even people watch the senseless movies of these traitors..
Another example of how India is nothing but a bananna republic without any concept of rule of law, discipline etc. Anyone with a truckload of goons can hold the country to ransom and the law can do nothing. Better we go back to the 18th century and invite the british or maybe china to come and rule us
Well why everyone is crying foul.When Gujarat riots happened Mahesh bhatt and ppl like him were targeting Modi and Hindus and till date they are beating same line only on speculations and rumors.Now when his son rahul and nephew Imran hashimi are in crosshair for there alleged links with pakistani terrorists now Media/ppl and they are complaining and crying.what u sow is what u reap.They definitely have links with islamic terrorists.
I am wondering whether I am living in Pakistan, Iran, Saudi , Libya...this is shocking. This goons are nothing but offshoots of BJP/ RSS experiment. They are all one and the same. They thrive making use of the free constitution to build their parties and torture innocent people. How different are they from the mumbai terrorists. We have seen this experiment in Karnataka, Orrisa, UP etc. RSS Boss, Shive Sena Boss, Advani, Kalyan, Ranjith ...all will be very happy. The constitution should be ammended to ban and lock up this terrorists for life. Somebody tell me what is the difference between Mumbai terrorists and this goons.
Who is this MJP... some party that has just popped up suddenly!... what have they done to earn a fame, i guess nothing. So this is the way to become famous. Wah! we have another one copying the Raj Thackeray model, create a mayhem and get famous. Dont we have glorified politicians and other famous ones who have done bad things.. get them also into shit.
If that son of Mahesh Bhatt is proven guilty and the country law so permits, hang him from the nearest lamppost. But you can%u2019t punish someone just on doubts. Mahesh Bhatt has always been a undaunted liberal and has opposed the fanatical fringes of Indian Society. These hyenas of communalsim were waiting for a chance to pounce upon him. They got the windfall this time and they have let loose all hell upon father for son%u2019s not yet proven crimes. Gujarat is run by the biggest terrorist of Indian history and no wonder a piece of art under attack this time. MJP is another serpent from the poison basket of RSS - a bunch of hooligans like MNS, Bajrang Dal and Shiva Sena. The gravest problem of all this hooliganism is that this line of thinking becomes the insinuating base of terrorism. First there is intolerance, then there is hatred, then it comes to moral-war and then it becomes Gourav, Astitva and Asmita. Finally this goondagardi shows the real face in the garb of Cultural Nationalism.
At last the congress supporters are feeling what we Nationalists feel constantly! The JNUs, The Kuldips, The Bhatts, The Karats .. shredding India to pieces coz that suite them just fine. 90% of ATS is after Malegoan bombs!! Can you believe that?! My hometown had 250 ppl - kids and women included died from multiple bomb blasts. The police chief resigned in disgust coz the congress CM would not allow him to arrest suspected Muslim men!! The liberal Media did not bother with it! Tasleema almost gets whacked in PUBLIC by goons! Nothing!! Women doctors chased and beaten on streets again the same Minority gangs. Nothing - Nada!! Coz the WONDERFUL SECULAR Congress was ruling the State! I didnt see any of you bothered to know MAKING NOICE!! Those freaking RAZAKAARS who murdered Hindus in 100 of thousands are still get elected! And thats a SHAME! You want to make a noice - how about SECULAR ONE?!
Hi Naim Naqvi, so hows life in Pakistan? How r u and are you still alive?
wow!! these half naked movies may be shoeing the decency of your home. Pathetic creatures keep their women in Burkas and as such bahave like leachers..
People who has no care for rule of law can do this. All these ultra nationalist are ineffect antinationals. Respect the law, as any one is innocent till proven guilty. Is there anyone guild in godhra riots, will we ever have it? sikh riots anyone guilty will never have it? Mumbar riots any one will be punished never. So all these cartoons can do any violent protests and the law will only be a spectator. God save india from these fundamentalist maniacs!!
This is a exagerration of public sentiments and should not be encouraged at any cost. Being a hindu I personally do not advocate these type of tactics.We are not governed by goons and there is well defined legal institutuions and process in this country.
Saudi practices an eye for an eye. So why are we showing any leniency to terrorists and sympathisers? When they kill, and are proud of it ( as in Movie Wednesday), that time they dont realise that they have killed innocent children and women. And when the heat is turned on these scum and pigs, they scream in the name of SICKULARISM and get some one like Teesta Setalvad to file false affidavits in courts. They can even petition the President in the name of SICKULARISM and seek pardon, even after killing innocent people. I think it is time a clear message is sent out to all such anti national elements who have gone to Pak and taken the help of ISI/Dawood to finance their movies and cultural extravaganza. Both father and son, Mahesh and Rahul should be hanged in public square.
This is not enough there are other gundas and terrorists like Sanjay Dutt, Govinda, Johny Liver, Nadeem, Anu Malik who have links with Doowd and others should also be treated like this. If they are given treatments based on their false characters in their films and made heroes, common men would be sufferring. Same holds with cricketers.
MJP has done the right thing. People to support this type of attitude to bring descipline in the system.
Ban all Mahesh Bhat film till their family get clean Chit from FBI. We donot want any Terrorist film screening in India. We should allow this family to go and settle in Pakistan
