Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has once again said that he didn’t know Shah Rukh Khan and the actor sent him a message and introduced himself.

New Delhi: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has once again said that he didn’t know Shah Rukh Khan and the actor sent him a message and introduced himself. While addressing the media, Himanta said, “I know film stars of my time. I didn't know Shah Rukh. He sent a message & introduced himself- 'I'm Shah Rukh Khan. I want to speak to you'. I didn't have time then. So later at 2am, we spoke & I told him that there'll be no disturbance in Assam (regarding movie Pathaan).” 

 

Biswa’s comment comes a day after he revealed that King Khan called him up at 2AM in the night. Taking to Twitter, he said that Shah Rukh Khan had called him expressing concern over an incident in Guwahati in protest against SRK’s upcoming film Pathaana. He added that he had assured SRK that the Assam government will maintain law and order. 

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

 

Notably, several members of the right-wing group created ruckus in Guwahati’s LG Towers on Friday and forcibly pulled down posters promoting Khan's next release 'Pathaan'. The Bajrang Dal has already threatened that they will not allow the release of the movie in Assam. 
 
Reacting to this incident, Sarma on Saturday told reports, "Who is Shah Rukh Khan. In Assam, we have many people having that name. I also don't know anything about Pathaan. I don't have time to enquire about these things." 

Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Pathaan' releases in theatres on January 25. The film also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Directed by Sidharth Anand, 'Pathaan' is produced under the banner of Yash Raj films.
