The Film Certification Appelate Tribunal (FCAT) has given a go-ahead to 'MSG: Messenger of God', the film directed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan, the leader of socio-spiritual organisation Dera Sacha Sauda. The film has been issued a U certificate, with a word muted and a disclaimer in the beginning and the end of the film. The producers of the film will get a copy of the order by today morning.

'MSG' was first rejected by the examining committee of the Censor Board, who felt the lead — played by the spiritual leader — was performing miracles without substantiation. The committee also deemed it more as a self-promotion, and referred it to the revising committee. The latter committee decided against clearing the film, saying it could cause law-and-order problems and also promoted superstition and blind faith, besides hurting religious sentiments. It was then referred to the FCAT, which watched it in New Delhi yesterday and cleared it.
