There seems to be no end to this drama anytime soon. Two days after the Election Commission stalled the release of 'PM Narendra Modi' during the election season, the makers have moved the Supreme Court challenging the decision.
The matter has been listed for an early hearing and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the matter on 15th April now.
On Wednesday, the Election Commission had stalled the Modi biopic stating the content violated the Model Code Of Conduct. The EC had stated that the film would only be allowed to release after the general Lok Sabha elections get over. The makers had planned to release it on 11th April.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court had declined to stall the release of the film, observing that theâquestion of whether the film will tilt the electoral balance in favour of any political party is a question that can and should be addressed by the Election Commission of India.â
Starring Vivek Oberoi in the lead role, the film has been directed by Omung Kumar and co-produced by Suresh Oberoi and Sandeep Ssingh.
