Sanjay Dutt’s Lamhaa Will Banned In Tamilnadu

The Tamil cine world had earlier barred Tamil artistes from attending the Indian film festival in Srilanka. It also had requested the Hindi artistes not to partake in the festival.

While some of them including Amitabh Bachchan and his family obliged, others such as Salmaan Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Vivek Oberoi, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, and Kareena Kapoor rejected its plea. In turn Tamil cine associations had imposed a ban on the movies of stars that rejected its plea.

Immediately, Hrithik Roshan’s Kites was barred from screening in Tamilnadu. However, Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Lamhaa’ is now being screened in Chennai. Surprisingly both Sanjay and Bipasha had attended the festival rejected by Tamil cine association. This has resulted in a gossip which says that the ban has been removed.

When asked about this one of the administrators of producers association said as follows: “Even while in production and much ahead of Srilankan festival, some of the distributers had bought a few movies.

Upon the request from film chamber in Hyderabad that the ban should not affect the distributers, we have allowed ‘Lamhaa’. Otherwise the ban is still in effect and we have instructed the distributors not to purchase the movies of stars that rejected our plea. Even if other states in South India relax the ban, we in Tamilnadu won’t,” said he.
