And Shah Rukh Khan has probably got the Shiv Sena to thank for it all.

All major theatres and multiplexes in the city are looking forward to a good first-day, first-show crowd today and do not anticipate any untoward incidents.

Prem, a representative of Paramount, agreed all the hullabaloo in Mumbai will not be witnessed in the city. He said, "It is all normal and nothing will happen here."

Rex Theatre is looking forward to a fabulous opening. This theatre has been selling tickets for three days. The ticket-seller said, "Overnight booking will just get better."
