Shah Rukh Khan was attacked with kerosene- filled bottles

Mumbai/London, Feb 13 (PTI) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow in Mumbai was attacked with kerosene- filled bottles by unknown persons in the wee hours today, an incident which the actor, currently in London, said has made him quite worried about the safety of his family.

"Around 0230 hours, motorcycle-borne miscreants threw the bottles filled with kerosene and fled the scene. The security men at the residence 'Mannat' (in suburban Bandra) chased the miscreants but in vain," Mumbai's Deputy Commissioner of Police Niket Kaushik told PTI.

Nobody sustained any injuries, he said, adding there have been no arrests so far.

Reacting to the incident, Shah Rukh said: "They came and hurled a couple of bottles which apparently had petrol in them I think. They caught a little fire but wasn't so dangerous. Of course, it makes you feel worried about the safety of your family and children at home." The police are yet to ascertain the motive of the attack. It is also not clear whether it has anything to do with Shah Rukh's film "Billu" which had a global release today.

The film, which was earlier titled "Billu Barber" ran into controversy after some barber associations objected to the word "barber". The name of the film was changed to avoid further problems
