Amidst all the cacophonies surrounding the release of ‘PM Narendra Modi’ biopic, there has been a relief for the makers as the Supreme Court has asked Election Commission to watch the movie before taking any decision. A few days back, EC had stalled the release of the movie till the Lok Sabha elections are over. EC took this decision as it thought that it would influence the voters during the elections (the movie was supposed to release on April 11).
EC has been instructed to take a decision by April 19 and submit their report to the court. Then, there will be a hearing on April 22. As per a report in Mumbai Mirror, producer Sandip Ssingh said that the main reason to seek the help of SC is not to challenge the EC’s decision. He said, “We simply put forth a request to the Supreme Court on Friday morning, and also forwarded our trailer and dialogue promos. On Monday, at the hearing, the Supreme Court directed the EC to watch the film and submit its report.”
Sandip even said that due to EC’s stall of the movie, they suffered huge losses. He is sure that the movie will get justice and they can plan the release date. “Our distributors are unhappy and the team is demotivated,” said the producer.
Sandip further said, “We have done whatever is asked from us, now we will wait for them to give us a date. This screening will decide the future of our film. But we are hopeful the outcome will be positive.”
We hope the movie to get through all the hurdles and get a smooth release.
