PADMAAVAT ROW: SUPREME COURT PAVES THE WAY FOR FILM’S RELEASE IN RAJASTHAN, GUJARAT, HARYANA, MADHYA PRADESH
The Supreme Court on Thursday passed an interim order allowing the makers of Padmaavat to release the film in the states where the governments had banned its release.
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh governments had stated that they will not allow Padmaavat to be released as it will cause law and order issues. However, Harish Salve and Mahesh Agarwal, who represented Padmaavat makers at the Supreme Court argued that law and order is not a sufficient reason for a state to ban a film’s release, especially since the producers had made the changes in the film and the film’s title (it was earlier titled Padmavati ) as suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The Supreme Court bench accepted the argument and allowed the movie to be released all over India.
While the SC order stays the ban placed by Rajasthan and Gujarat (the only two states that had officially banned Padmaavat ), it also makes it impossible for other states to place any kind of ban on the film’s release.
