    Karan Johar said that his impulsive apology to the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray over the use of "Bombay" in his film Wake Up Sid may have triggered the controversy with the Shiv Sena over his later film My Name Is Khan. Johar had rushed to apologize to Thackeray and agreed to add a disclaimer to Wake Up Sid after MNS activists protested the film's screening, but he now says he would handle a similar situation differently after the experience with the Shiv Sena over My Name Is Khan.

    My apology to MNS over Sid may have triggered Sena’s

    MNIK stir: Johar


    Monday, 22 February 2010 19:03
    Filmmaker Karan Johar said he may have reacted impulsively in apologising to Maharashtra
    Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray last October when MNS activists protested against
    Mumbai being referred to as ‘Bombay’ in his production Wake Up Sid, and that reaction
    could have been one of the triggers for the face-off with the Shiv Sena over My Name Is
    Khan (MNIK).

    But after the MNIK controversy, when its lead actor Shah Rukh Khan refused to apologise to
    the Shiv Sena for his comments welcoming Pakistani cricketers in India, Johar said he was a
    different person now and would do things differently if faced with a similar crisis.

    Johar had rushed to Thackeray’s home and apologised to him, saying “we are creative people,
    we make mistakes” and even agreed to add a disclaimer before the start of Wake Up Sid after
    MNS activists stopped the screening of the film on its opening day in Pune
