London (ANI): Indian superstar Shahrukh Khan-starrer My Name is Khan has become Bollywood's most successful box office opener in Britian. The movie, which was engulfed in controversy during release after a row between its star Shahrukh and Shiv Sena, a hardline Hindu party in India, has already grossed more than 936,000 pounds since hitting screens.

The film has entered the UK Box Office charts at number six. Shiv Sena got angry after the Indian actor said Pakistani players should be included in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 cricket competition, reports The BBC.
