As MNS continues to oppose the release of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, a group of producers met Mumbai police commissioner Datta Padsalgikar yesterday morning, seeking a hassle-free release for the film on October 28. Insiders tell us the top cop asked the producers' guild to breathe easy, with an assurance that "hooliganism won't be tolerated".
DCP Ashok Dudhe, spokesperson of Mumbai police, said, "The CP has assured members [of producers' guild] to provide adequate security to theatres screening the film as and when required."
All police stations have been asked to keep a close eye on MNS members as the release date nears, said a senior cop, adding, "We have 10 more days in hand to make proper security arrangements. If necessary, we will serve notices to party members."
Joint commissioner (law and order) Deven Bharti was also present during the meeting with Mukesh Bhatt, Siddharth Roy Kapur and other producers.
