Releasing April 19, the Kannan Iyer directed film is a supernatural thriller that revolves around a &#39;daayan&#39; (witch). <img alt="Ekta Kapoor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/Ekta-Kapoor-2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 561px;" /> The National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned both the producers - Ekta and Vishal Bhardwaj - last week after a complaint was filed by Ipsita Roy Chakraverti, a Wiccan priestess, alleging that the film shows women in regressive roles. Chakraverti has also filed a petition to President Pranab Mukherjee, requesting him to ban the film as it promotes witchcraft. &quot;I am beyond this. I cannot justify everything that happens in a movie or supernaturally because there will always be questions raised on various issues,&quot; Ekta said in an interview. &quot;But I would like to say that the movie was being made for two years and I don&#39;t know why people got up 10 days before its release (realising) that its content could be problematic. I just don&#39;t get it,&quot; she added. Meanwhile, &quot;Ek Thi Daayan&quot; promotions are in full swing with all the leading actors - Huma Qureshi, Konkona Sen Sharma and Emraan Hashmi except Kalki Koechlin - participating in it. When asked, Ekta said: &quot;Kalki is busy shooting for a film abroad. She and Emraan will join the promotions on April 9 and 10.&quot;u00a0
