Multiplex chains in Mumbai have decided to have a limited release of Shah Rukh Khan's movie My Name Is Khan post noon on Friday.

Multiplex owners met this morning at Fun Cinemas in suburban Andheri where it was decided that each multiplex chain will open one of its property in Mumbai to screen the film and see how it goes, a source told PTI.

The film would be screened in all theaters outside Mumbai, as there is no trouble, the source said.

However, most of the single screens have decided not to release the movie.

Manoj Desai owner of Gaiety, Galaxy and Maratha Mandir single-screen theatres has also decided against releasing the film. "Shiv Sainiks tore the screen at Maratha Mandir even before the release of the film. Why should I take chances?"
