No Links to BJP, Cong Complaint Mala Fide: Modi Biopic Producers

The EC had sought comments from the makers of biopic on Modi after the Congress’ demand to stall its release.

Responding to an Election Commission notice, the producers of the biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi have reportedly said the allegations linking the movie with a political party are "false" and have "no basis in either fact and/or law."

The lawyer for the producers of the film, Hitesh Jain, was quoted by The Indian Express as saying:

“The said film has been made as a commercial venture by our clients and other producers who are from the film industry. If a producer who is producing a movie relating to a political figure and/or political party is presumed (to be) having a political nexus, then every movie made in India involving political leaders (past and present) will be identified as a propaganda movie.”
