A\u00a0PIL\u00a0seeking a ban on screening of actor-director\u00a0Kamal\u00a0Hassan’s\u00a0controversial film\u00a0‘Vishwaroopam’ in all languages across the country has beeen dismissed by the Madras High Court.
\nA bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Elipe Dharma Rao and Justice M Venugopal told that they saw no “genuinity” in the petition as the film is set to be released in\u00a0Tamil Nadu\u00a0following a compromise between Muslim outfits and the actor.<\/p>\n
Petitioner C Jebakumar George, an advocate, had submitted he had watched the film in Thiruvananthapuram and found many scenes to be “very violent and derogative of the religions and races.”<\/p>\n
He had sought a direction to authorities to issue a ban on the film in the present form across the country, unless and until it was edited to be in conformity with guidelines XII and XIII of the Cinematograph Act.<\/p>\n
The multi-lingual film, made in Tamil, Hindu and Telugu, has already been released outside Tamil Nadu where the screening is scheduled for February 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
