No UAE screening of Narendra Modi biopic tomorrow

The movie is now slated to release once the elections are over.

Latest reports coming in from India suggest that the Vivek Oberoi-starrer PM: Narendra Modi, a biopic on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will not release on April 11 as expected.  
The movie, which was slated to release in the UAE last weekend (Feb 4), had been held back at the last minute on Thursday due to a petition filed by a Congress leader in the Supreme Court asking for a stay order.
While the court had washed their hands off the subject saying only the Election Commission could decide the fate of the movie, now the EC has finally decided that the biopic nature of the movie could "disturb level playing field during the election" according to reports in various Indian media including, India Today and NDTV.
The movie is now slated to release once the elections are over, which would be a huge relief for the Congress party and its supporters.
Oberoi recently has accused Bollywood of keeping mum and not coming to his support at this juncture of his career, whereas many of its popular actors and filmmakers had shown support for Modi through a recent selfie with the PM that had gone viral on social media. We are still awaiting an official confirmation from the makers at this point.
