The Congress-led government in Madhya Pradesh on Friday said it has not banned the film The Accidental Prime Minister , in which Anupam Kher plays the role of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The Department of Public Relations of Madhya Pradesh government tweeted that there is no decision by the government to ban the film, adding that media reports announcing the ban were not factual.

 

The film has sparked a row over alleged distortion of facts.

The clarification came after a section of media reported that the film, based on the book of the same name by Mr. Singh’s former media advisor Sanjaya Baru, has been banned in the State.
