No release of any movie starring Bachchans: Gite

Nashik, Sep 8 (UNI) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) state general secretary Vasant Gite today said that the release or screening of any movie starring the Bachchans would not be allowed in the district.

''The decision to ban release of the Bachchan movies in Maharashtra is an apt one. We condemn the insult of Marathi language by Jaya Bachchan. We will not allow release or screening of any movie starring the Bachchans in Nashik district as well as in Maharashtra. We will not allow any posters of them to be displayed anywhere,'' Gite said in an interview to a news channel this evening.

Meanwhile, incidents of damage to posters of the Bachchans have been reported from many parts of the city including Ashok Stambh, Gangapur Road, Nashik Road, College Road areas. Most of these posters included Idea Mobile posters of Abhishek Bachchan. Two MNS activists were detained by the police till reports last came in.
