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. Critics have labelled the movie a blatant attempt to sway voters in the six-week election. Congress has said its release should wait until voting ends on May 19.
