Allahabad HC orders Adipurush makers to appear on July 27

Lucknow, (01/07/2023): The Allahabad High Court has ordered the contentious film “Adipurush” makers to appear in court on July 27 and the central government to constitute a committee to provide feedback on the film.

A vacation bench of Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Justice Shree Prakash Singh was hearing separate petitions seeking a ban on the film from Kuldeep Tiwari and Naveen Dhawan.

The court has summoned director Om Raut, producer Bhushan Kumar, and dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir on July 27. It has also directed the federal government to form a five-member committee to assess if the film offended the public’s sensibilities.

It also instructed the government to reconsider the decision to award the certificate to the film in order. The order was posted late Friday on the top court’s website.

The bench has stated that the secretary of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) will file personal affidavits informing it whether the guidelines for film certification for public exhibition were followed in letter and spirit.
