Vivek Oberoi starrer Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in news since its announcement. The film has fallen into controversy and plea has been filed against the release of the movie. The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear on April 15 a plea challenging the Election Commission's ban on the release of biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A bench headed by Chief Justice said it will hear the plea filed by producers of the biopic.
According to the report, the poll panel had on Wednesday banned the screening of the biopic during poll period, saying any such film that subserves purpose of any political entity or individual should not be displayed in the electronic media. The apex court had on Tuesday disposed of the petition filed by a Congress activist seeking stay on the release of the biopic, saying the Election Commission was the right forum to decide the issue.

SC had left it for the Election Commision to take a decision by saying that since the movie was not certified at that time by the Censor Board it could not entertain the petition seeking ban on the film. Later on Tuesday evening the Censor Board had certified the biopic and the Congress activist on Wednesday succeeded in securing a ban on its release from the EC.
