John Abraham’s ‘Batla House’ might not get to clash with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Mission Mangal’ for THIS reason

John Abraham starrer ‘Batla House’ is all set to release on August 15. Ahead of its release, the movie has landed into trouble. For the unversed, the film is inspired by operation Batla House that took place in Delhi on September 19, 2008. As reported by news agency PTI (Press Trust Of India), the two accused in the encounter had moved to the Delhi High Court on 2 August (Friday) to postpone the release of the movie.

As per IANS, the plea filed by Ariz Khan and Shehzad Ahmed Khan stated, “Although the courts discharge their duties in a free and fair manner and are not likely to be affected by events portrayed in a movie, the release of such a movie would prejudice the outcome of the trial.”

It further stated, “The events portrayed in the film will prejudice the trial especially as there has been an effort to connect the two incidents i.e. Batla House and the Delhi serial blasts.”

The petition was heard before Justice Vibhu Bakhru and he ordered for a special screening in the High Court on Monday.

Coming back to the movie, it is bankrolled by T-Series, Emmay Entertainment and John Abraham Entertainment. It also stars Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and Prakash Raj.
