HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD First hurdle for Aamir Khan the crusader15th Apr 2006 22.14 IST By Agencies Acting in Bollywood and becoming a crusader for a social cause are two totally different things. And Aamir Khan has just faced his first hurdle after turning crusader for a social cause. Angered by Aamir's comments in support of social activist Medha Patkar who is opposing rising of Narmada dam's height, BJP workers today stalled screening of the actor's film at cinema halls in Ahmedabad. 
BJP party workers led by local BJP MLAs today pulled down the posters of Rang De Basanti , Aamir's latest flick and stalled the screening of the film in a multiplex in Ahmedabad. The party men shouted slogans against Aamir and said they will also prevent his forthcoming film Fanaa from being screened in the city cinema halls. A local BJP leader while talking to media persons, asked Aamir to first "set his house in order by thinking about his former wife and children instead of worrying about those displaced by building of Sardar Sarovar dam". The party workers also vented their anger on another film personality Rahul Bose , who has also come out to support the Medha Patkar-led Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA). They also threatened to stall all future films of Bose. Yesterday, members of the Congress party, which is also supporting the building of the Narmada dam, stalled the screening of Rang De Basanti in a Vadodara city theatre. Earlier, NGOs and business organisations in Gujarat have also threatened to launch an agitation if the work on the Narmada dam is stalled.
