While Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub has hailed EC’s decision to stall PM Narendra Modi, Renuka Shahane has stated that she is not in favour of the move A day before its release on 11 April, the Election Commission of India banned the release of PM Narendra Modi till the end of 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub called stalling the film the “right move” alluding to the incident when Doordarshan had decided to not screen Amitabh Bachchan’s films for some time when the megastar contested the election. — Renuka Shahane April 10, 2019 She also told the website, “I think it’s sad that the election commission is taking such a call after the film got its censor certificate. It is made by few individuals who are inspired by an individual who happens to be the Prime Minister of the country.” The decision to stall PM Narendra Modi came a day after the Central Board of Film Certification granted the Vivek Oberoi-starrer a ‘U’ certificate.
