While the ban on the release of the biopic on PM Modi hogged all the headlines, the Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday, 10 April, also effected similar restrictions on two more biopics – on NT Rama Rao and K Chandrashekar Rao.
The EC issued letters to the producers of the biopics, Laxmi's NTR and Udyama Simham, letting them know about the decision.
“Any biopic material in the nature of biography/hagiography sub-serving the purposes of any political entity or any individual entity connected to it, which is intended to, or which has the potential to disturb the level playing field, should not be displayed in electronic media, including cinematograph.” the poll panel said in the letters.
