NEW DELHI: The Election Commission said it will take a final call on the release of a Hindi biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, as Opposition raised the pitch for deferring the release of the film by citing poll code violation.
We have sought comments from the producer of the movie and also from BJP’s general secretary…that also has been received. The file is under examination and it has been listed for tomorrow (before the EC), Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena told reporters here on Thursday.
The Commission will take a final call tomorrow, he said.
The official said the EC’s decision, based on the directives of Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora and Election Commissioners Ashok Lavasa and Sushil Chandra, will be a response to the complaint raised by Congress in this regard.
Saxena said the Commission has already told the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to take a call on the issue as it had “no role” in the issue. (AGENCIES)
