Release of  Modi biopic postponed

Film-makers yesterday postponed the scheduled release of a Bollywood biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after it failed to get a censor’s certificate on time. India’s main opposition Congress party had petitioned against the film’s release, calling it a propaganda movie that would influence the country’s national election that starts on April 11. The film’s producer Sandip Ssingh announced on Twitter late Thursday that the movie on Modi’s rise from humble origins would not come out Friday, promising an update “soon”. But the Central Board of Film Certification said that “PM Narendra Modi” had not yet been given release authorisation.
