The DMK has sought for a ban on the biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is due to be released on April 12, till the Lok Sabha election is over. P.S. Arasu Bupathi of the DMK’s engineering wing, from Pollachi, has written to the Chief Election Commissioner, the Chief Electoral Officer and the State Election Commissioner seeking a ban on PM Narendra Modi, in which Vivek Oberoi stars as the ace politician. His argument is that the film is party-oriented and shows Mr. Modi’s political lifestyle, so it will impact the outcome of the election.
