MP-FILM-BAN

The Congress-led government in

Madhya Pradesh Friday said it has not banned the film 'The

Accidental Prime Minister', in which Anupam Kher plays 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

Singh's media advisor Sanjaya Baru, has been banned in the

state.

The film, whose trailer was released recently, has a

motley of actors playing the key players of the Nehru-Gandhi

family and Kher stepping into the shoes of Dr Manmohan Singh.
