This creates a major hurdle, as Sadia’s family is given an ultimatum: stop the grandmother’s wedding or risk losing the alliance with Kapil. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on May 8.</p>

Former Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh, who was on duty during Shah Rukh Khan's clash at Wankhede Stadium in 2012, has shared some fresh insights about the controversy. 

Shah Rukh Khan's clash at Wankhede Stadium in 2012 created a massive buzz at the time in both cricket and Bollywood industries. Now, after more than a decade, fresh details have emerged about the controversy. Former Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh, who was on duty that night, has recently opened up about why the situation went out of control. Former ACP recalls the incident During an interaction with Subhojit Ghosh, Shaikh revealed that he was present at the stadium when the situation began to escalate. "It was more of a miscommunication involving Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials. I was the divisional ACP of the area where Wankhede Stadium falls, which is why I was present there," he said. "When I reached the main gate, an MCA colleague informed me that Shah Rukh ne raada kar diya (Shah Rukh Khan was creating a scene). By then, the match had ended, most people had left, and even a few floodlights had been switched off."

He further explained, "Shah Rukh Khan and some children with him were playing on one side. A security guard objected and blew a whistle, which upset him. There was some exchange of words, and then MCA officials also intervened. The argument became heated, and the atmosphere was worsening when I stepped in…" Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan reacts as The Academy shares iconic Om Shanti Om scene, says: 'Feel like the king of the world' Shaikh added that his immediate focus was to defuse the tension. "I immediately escorted Shah Rukh out of the stadium to prevent the situation from escalating further. I told him directly, 'Sir, please step outside.' Otherwise, things could have worsened unnecessarily." What was the incident? The 2012 controversy began after the Kolkata Knight Riders defeated the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede. Several post-match photos and videos showed Shah Rukh Khan in a heated verbal exchange with stadium staff.

A police complaint was also filed against the actor. However, he had denied these allegations and claimed that he reacted only after children, including his own, were allegedly mishandled.

My kids were there and I thought someone… Maybe they had a rule, that hatao yaha se. I told him, these are our kids and we are taking them. I just said this. There was a person there who said a word which I, as a Delhi person, felt like it was an abusive word. Even though the same word in Marathi is also rude. Thoda sa religious, galat tha woh (It was religious, it was wrong). I then lost my cool, main pagal hogaya and I went to hit him." The Mumbai Cricket Association had barred him from entering Wankhede Stadium for five years; however, the ban was lifted after around three years. Currently, SRK is gearing up for Siddharth Anand’s upcoming film King, which also features Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Rani Mukerji.

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Ek Din, starring Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan and South Indian actor Sai Pallavi, is the official Hindi remake of the Thai romantic drama One Day.
