Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma gets a phone call from Shah Rukh Khan at 2 am amid Pathaan protests in Guwahati hours after “Who is SRK?” remark

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that he received a phone call from superstar Shah Rukh Khan and he assured the actor that there will be proper safety provided to people during the screening of Pathaan in the state after an incident occurred at a theatre in Guwahati amid protests against the film. This comes hours after the politician made a remake of “Who is SRK?” which went viral on social media.

“Bollywood actor Shri @iamsrk called me and we talked today morning at 2 am. He expressed concern about an incident in Guwahati during screening of his film. I assured him that it’s duty of state govt to maintain law & order. We’ll enquire and ensure no such untoward incidents,” the Chief Minister said in a tweet.

This tweet comes a day after he asked “Who is SRK?” when reporters had asked him about the violent protests against the movie in the state. “Who is Shah Rukh Khan? I don’t know anything about him or the film ‘Pathaan’,” said Sarma on Saturday. He said that people should focus on Assamese films and not Bollywood, as reported by NDTV.

Pathaan is set to release in theatres on January 25, 2023. It also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia. The film marks SRK’s return to the big screen after four years in a lead role.
