Declining to stay a two-week ban imposed by the Tamil Nadu government on the screening of ‘Vishwaroopam’, the Madras High Court on Thursday restricted the film’s release till 28 Jan. A judge will see the movie 26 Jan and decided on its fate.
‘Vishwaroopam’, which deals about the adversities of war, is produced and directed by Kamal Haasan who has also acted in it. It was scheduled to release on Friday, but the government imposed curbs following protest from Muslim groups. ‘The final verdict on the release of ‘Vishwaroopam’ will be announced on 28 Jan. Justice K. Venkatraman will watch the film on 26 Jan and will deliver final verdict on 28 Jan,’ a lawyer said.
Kamal has challenged the ban by the state government. He contended that the movie was cleared by the censor board.
