There is tension brewing between Yash Chopra and the multiplexes all over India . Top cineplex chains have all united to bargain with Chopra on the sharing formula for his 'Fanaa' .

While the exhibitors are in no mood to give more than 50 percent of the nett collections by way of distributor's share in the first week , 40 percent in the second week, 30 percent in the third week and 25 percent in the subsequent weeks , Yash Raj are demanding 60 percent , 50 percent , 40 percent and 35 percent respectively . Negotations were in progress till late in the evening on 18th May but no conrete decision could arrived at.

According to the latest ( based on director Kunal Kohli's statement , till this point of time ) , 'Fanaa' may not be able to release at the multiplexes across India .

Another cause of concern for Chopras is with regard to 'Fanaa' is the Gujarat issue . After Aamir Khan pledged support to Medha Patkar in the 'Narmada Bachao Andolan'(on the issue of rehabilitation of the affected) .

The Narendra Modi government crossed swords with the actor and swore not not to allow the release of his starrers . The BJP-ruled stae state witnessed ugly scenes in cinemas which were screening Aamir's 'Rang De Basanti' , soon after he came out openly in support of the activists .

According to the latest , Modi and his goons , under the garb of BJP's student wing ABVP( 'Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarti Parishad') have been able to browbeat the Gujarat Theatres Associations into not not releasing 'Fanaa' , who have no choice as they have been threatened with their theater being burnt down .
