PM Narendra Modi, initially scheduled to release on 11 April, was stalled because of the Election Commision’s claim that the ‘hagiography’ violates the Model Code of Conduct in effect during Lok Sabha Election 2019.

PM Narendra Modi to now release on 24 May, after announcement of Lok Sabha Election 2019 results

The controversial biopic,  _PM Narendra Modi_, starring Vivek Oberoi in the titular role, now has a new release date. The film is now scheduled to hit cinemas on 24 May after the Lok Sabha Election results are announced. [caption id=“attachment_6379651” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]Poster of PM Narendra Modi.

“As a responsible citizen we respect the law of the country. After a lot of discussions and keeping the curiosity and excitement about the film in mind we have decided to release the film immediately after the Lok Sabha election results,” Singh said in a statement to Press Trust of India. “We are now releasing our film on 24 May 2019. This is the first time a film will be promoted for only four days. I hope now nobody has any problem with the film and we are hoping for the smooth release this time,” he added. The release of PM Narendra Modi had been stalled by the Election Commission until the general elections culminated. The poll panel had also said that the  film was more than a biography and was a "hagiography" (which treats the subject as saints and gives undue reverence) and the construct of the movie was “unabashedly uni-dimensional”, which puts an individual on a higher pedestal through use of specific symbols, slogans and scenes. The film_,_ directed by Mary Kom maker Omung Kumar, courted controversy since the release of its trailer, with various political parties saying that releasing it before the general election would be a violation of the Model Code of Conduct.
