Chandigarh/ Punjab (April 28, 2013):
According to information available through various media sources the
much awaited Punjabi movie Sadda Haq will be released on May 10 after
the Supreme Court lifted bans by various state governments. The
producers of the movie announced reportedly made an announcement that
the film will open in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, UP, Chandigarh and
Delhi.
On the other hand Punjab’s Deputy Chief
Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on said that the state government would
abide by the Supreme Court’s decision.
He
reprotedly added that if the release of the film led to any law and
order problem, the state was committed to maintaining peace at all
costs.
“The lifting of the ban is a big relief.
This had been our request from the very beginning – we had asked the
Punjab Government too to set up a committee of neutral members for the
screening of the film and then decide accordingly. On the advice of our
counsel, we moved the Supreme Court for a faster judgment, and this is a
landmark judgment for any Indian film,” producer Dinesh Sood said.
He was joined by film’s actor-writer-co
producer Kuljinder Singh Sidhu, Upwinder Sidhu, Nidhi Sidhu and Surinder
Dhalla at a press conference held at Press Club, Chandigarh.
Dinesh Sood added that the Supreme Court
of India has directed the Central Board of Film Certification to give
the film an “A” Certificate.
“That’s the only change we’ve been asked
to follow and we would be happy if we get a U/A certificate. We will
come to know about the certification on Monday,” Sood reprotedly added.
“According to the Supreme Court, the
film should run and if there is any law and order situation, the state
has to address it, not ban the film,” Sood reportedly added.
In the meantime, the film, released worldwide on April 5, is breaking records.
“We have crossed the record collection
of two and half lakh pounds and dollars in UK and USA respectively,” the
film’s producer stated.
