The lawyer of the makers told that the release has been delayed because they did not get the clearance from Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
With Lok Sabha elections around the corner, the release of PM Narendra Modi has generated considerable debate with some even calling it a ‘propaganda film’.
The Omung Kumar directorial also went under the scanner of Election Commission after Congress and other opposition parties complained about the violation of Model Code of Conduct.
