Film on Sonia cleared for release

MUMBAI: A Bollywood film on the life of Congress president Sonia Gandhi will soon be released. The Censor Board of Film Certification has cleared the film with minor cuts.

For producer Thakur Dinesh Kumar, the clearance marks the end of a three-year struggle. He plans to release the film on November 14, which happens to be Jawaharlal Nehru's birthday.

Vinayak Azad, regional officer of CBFC, said, "The film came to us in December 2005 but we had asked him to get a no-objection certificate from Sonia Gandhi. But Thakur moved the Bombay high court challenging it.

The court ruled that as per the Cinematograph Act, there is no such pre-condition. After that, we withdrew the letter issued to him with only an instruction to change a few dialogues in the film." "I have incurred heavy losses in the last three years but I am glad that I have won the battle."
