The MNS chief said he was "not happy" with the apology expressed by Amitabh in his blog. However, when the actor publicly apologised at a press conference, it was another matter, Raj said, announcing that he was calling off the agitation against the Bachchans.

However, Raj did not fail to take pot-shots at Jaya, "advising" her to "stick to the dialogues" that are given to her in writing.

Suspected MNS activists broke ticket counter and plasma screens at the PVR multiplex near the Bachchans' residence in suburban Juhu and injured one person on Wednesday. It forced the producers to call off the premiere of The Last Lear starring Amitabh.

On September 8, Raj had warned that not a single film involving the Bachchan family would be allowed to be released in Maharashtra till Jaya tendered an unconditional apology over her remarks.

The MNS chief had also asked Maharashtrians to boycott all products endorsed by the Bachchans. The appeal of people like Amitabh, Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar "transcends geographical boundaries", Raj said on Thursday. "Amitabh should not confine himself in regional boundaries", the MNS chief said.
