Yesterday, the Supreme Court asked the Election Commission to watch the biopic, PM Narendra Modi, starring Vivek Oberoi and review its decision to put the film's release on hold. "We are informed that the EC had no occasion to watch the movie or a substantial part of it. The order was passed on viewing the trailer. We are not commenting on the merits of the order, but we direct the EC to view the movie either by itself or by an authorised body and thereafter to give a thought to what petitioners have to say and then consider the matter for public viewing of the movie," said the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court scheduled the matter for next hearing on April 22. The filmmakers had moved the apex court challenging the EC's order delaying its release date.
