Haryana bans film 'The Legend of Michael Mishra'

CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government has banned the screening of Hindi film 'The Legend of Michael Mishra' for a period of eight weeks. The decision was made after several members of the Valmiki community raised objections regarding few utterances in the film. An official spokesman said the government had received information that certain organisations and individuals were protesting against the exhibition of the film, as lead actor Arshad Warsi utters "objectionable words" that could potentially outrage religious views of the community. With the aim to maintain peace and social harmony, the government suspended the exhibition of the film under Section 6 of the Punjab Cinema Act, 1952 with immediate effect.
