INDU SARKAR release July 28 |
`Indu Sarkar` received a shot in the arm with the Supreme Court`s decision to dismiss a plea that sought a ban on the film for allegedly maligning the image of the Gandhi family. Priya Singh Paul, who claimed to be the biological daughter of late Sanjay Gandhi, had approached the Supreme Court seeking a stay on the release of the film `Indu Sarkar`, which is based on the 1975-1977 Emergency period. The film, scheduled for release on July 28, 2017, has evoked strong criticism and protest from the Congress. President of the Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India, Nitin Datar, plans to write to the government asking for protection to all cinemas where `Indu Sarkar` would be screened. He said that the board has decided to ask the government for security cover to those cinemas which choose to screen the film. If they are unable to safeguard the theatres, they intend to ask the government to compensate for damages in the event of unruly elements trying to create problems. Nitin added that they will see what the situation is like after the film is cleared, but the safety of cinemas and audiences is uppermost on their minds.
