The Accidental Prime Minister Row: Anupam Kher against special screening, Congress says no ban in Madhya Pradesh
India TV NewsAmid the ongoing controversy over upcoming film "The Accidental Prime Minister", a biopic on former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, lead actor of the movie Anupam Kher on Friday said that after certification of a film by the censor board, nobody has the right to ask for showing the film before its release. The Congress government in Madhya Pradesh said it had not banned the film in which actor Anupam Kher plays former PM Manmohan Singh. While several Congress leaders sought a ban on it or removal of "objectionable scenes", the state unit of the party said it had no comment to make as the film was BJP's "propaganda". State BJP spokesperson Rajnish Agrawal defended the film, pointing out that it is based on a book written by Manmohan Singh's former adviser, and "the people have right to know the truth about the UPA government, which has affected their lives".
