Representatives met Mr Sanghavi in Gandhinagar a week before the film's release and raised concern over threats received by them from various groups which have warned them against screening the movie.
A delegation of multiplex owners in Gujarat on Wednesday met Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi and sought protection to theatres that are scheduled to screen the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan-starrer film 'Pathaan', which is facing opposition from right-wing groups over certain scenes.
Multiplex Association of Gujarat (MAG) president Manubhai Patel said during the meeting the minister assured its representatives of protection to multiplex theatres from groups threatening cinema exhibitors over the release of the movie.
Representatives of the association met Mr Sanghavi in Gandhinagar a week before the film's release and raised concern over threats received by them from various groups which have warned them against screening the movie, which also stars Deepika Padukone.
Meanwhile, the Bajrang Dal said it was firm on its decision to not let the movie hit theatres in Gujarat as a song in the movie "insults" Hindu religion.
